Summary:
The 62894 zip code area is home to two schools, Waltonville Grade School and Waltonville High School, both part of the Waltonville CUSD 1 district. While the district is ranked 571 out of 811 in Illinois and has a 1-star rating, the data suggests that neither school is a clear standout performer.
Waltonville Grade School has a student enrollment of 202 and struggles with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4%. The school's ELA proficiency rates are generally higher than district and state averages, but its math proficiency rates, especially in the upper grades, are significantly lower. Waltonville High School, with 99 students, has a graduation rate of 89.0% and a dropout rate of 2.4%. However, the school's ACT and SAT proficiency rates are mixed, with strong performance in English/ELA but very low math proficiency.
Both schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, around 50%, indicating a relatively high-need student population. Despite the relatively high spending per student, over $16,000 at each school, the academic outcomes do not appear to be consistently strong. The data suggests that the schools in this zip code area face challenges in terms of student achievement, particularly in mathematics, as well as high rates of chronic absenteeism, which may require targeted interventions and support to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
