Summary:
The Bunker Hill CUSD 8 district in Illinois has only one elementary school, Wolf Ridge Education Center. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and is located in a rural area. While the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, its academic performance is generally lower than state benchmarks, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Wolf Ridge Education Center has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 1238 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts range from 21.6% to 38.1%, below the state average of 41.2%, and its Mathematics proficiency rates, ranging from 7.1% to 20.6%, are significantly lower than the state average of 28.4%. However, the school's Science proficiency rate of 57.1% is higher than the state average of 53.2%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 39.17%, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among its student population.
While the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.4 is slightly lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively favorable learning environment, its chronic absenteeism rate of 10.1% is a potential area of concern. Addressing the school's academic challenges, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as the high rate of chronic absenteeism, could be important steps in improving outcomes for the students at Wolf Ridge Education Center.
