Summary:
The 62048 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Hartford Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with 159 students. The school is part of the Wood River-Hartford Education Service District 15, which is ranked 670 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating.
Hartford Elementary School faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across ELA, Math, and Science proficiency compared to district and state averages. In 5th grade, for example, only 16.7% of students were proficient in Math, compared to 25.5% in the district and 36.5% statewide. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is above the state average, and a high poverty rate, with 71.07% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite higher spending per student at $13,457, which is above the state average, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 13:1, Hartford Elementary School's academic outcomes remain below par. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student achievement. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, resources, and support systems may be necessary to identify ways to address the challenges and improve student outcomes.
