Summary:
The 62844 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Wells Elementary School, which serves students in the Grayville CUSD 1 district. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it has maintained strong results in certain grade levels and subject areas, outperforming state and district averages. However, the school faces challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income population.
Wells Elementary School's statewide ranking has ranged from 462 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 739 out of 2,077 in 2022-2023. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 58.3% of students proficient or better in ELA and 50% proficient or better in Math, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school's performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with some grades and subjects performing above the state and district averages, while others fall below.
Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be well-resourced, with a higher-than-average spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average. This suggests that the district is allocating significant resources to support the school, which could be a contributing factor to its performance. While the school has seen fluctuations in its performance, the data indicates that there may be room for improvement, particularly in areas where the school is underperforming compared to the state and district averages.
