Summary:
Manhattan School District 114 in Illinois is home to two high-performing elementary schools: Wilson Creek Elementary School and Anna McDonald Elementary School. Both schools serve students in grades K-5 and demonstrate strong academic achievement, with Anna McDonald Elementary consistently ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools.
Anna McDonald Elementary stands out for its exceptional performance, outpacing the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 5th grade ELA, Anna McDonald had 68.5% proficiency compared to the district's 68.5% and the state's 39.1%. Meanwhile, Wilson Creek Elementary also performs well, with both schools spending similar amounts per student and maintaining comparable student-teacher ratios.
While both schools serve relatively affluent student populations, the data suggests Manhattan School District 114 allocates resources fairly across the two campuses. However, the higher chronic absenteeism rate at Wilson Creek Elementary may be an area that requires further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student attendance and engagement.
