Summary:
The 62034 zip code area is home to two high-performing elementary schools, Albert Cassens Elementary and Glen Carbon Elementary School, both part of the Edwardsville CUSD 7 school district. These schools consistently rank among the top in the state, with strong test scores, low chronic absenteeism, and relatively low rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Albert Cassens Elementary has a statewide ranking of 639 out of 2,056 schools and has seen a significant improvement in test scores, with 56.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 50.9% in Math, exceeding the state averages. Glen Carbon Elementary School also performs well, with a student-teacher ratio of 16.9 and spending per student of $13,844, higher than the state average.
While both schools have high-performing students, they also face the challenge of a 25.4% chronic absenteeism rate, which is an area that warrants further investigation. The difference in student-teacher ratios between the two schools may also be a factor in their relative performance, and the allocation of the higher spending per student at Glen Carbon Elementary School could provide valuable insights into how resources are being utilized to support student success.
