The Bethalto CUSD 8 district in Illinois serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data analysis reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools within the district.
Civic Memorial High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 190 out of 697 Illinois high schools and maintaining a strong 95.6% 4-year graduation rate. The school also excels in science proficiency, with 63.4% of students scoring proficient or better on the ISA science assessment, outpacing the district and state averages. In contrast, Parkside Primary School lags behind the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and math proficiency.
The data also reveals that Meadowbrook Intermediate School outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts proficiency, with 45.8% of students scoring proficient or better on the IAR ELA assessment.
