Summary:
The 61957 zip code in Illinois is home to two schools: Windsor Elementary School and Windsor Junior & Senior High School, both part of the Windsor CUSD 1 district. While the elementary school shows some academic strengths in the lower grades, the high school struggles with overall proficiency rates in core subjects, suggesting a significant disparity in performance between the two schools.
Windsor Elementary School stands out for its relatively high proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, exceeding the district and state averages. However, the school's overall proficiency rates in these subjects are below the state average, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%. In contrast, Windsor Junior & Senior High School boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%, but its overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state averages, with the exception of 8th grade Science.
The data suggests that the district-level challenges faced by the Windsor CUSD 1 district, which is ranked 568 out of 811 districts in Illinois and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, may be contributing to the performance disparities between the two schools. The high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools are also a concern and may be impacting academic outcomes. While the high school spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio, these factors do not seem to translate into better academic results compared to the elementary school.
