Summary:
The 60548 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of academic performance, with some standout elementary schools like W.W. Woodbury Elementary School and Prairie View Elementary School significantly outperforming the district and state averages, while the middle and high school lag behind.
Sandwich Community High School has a respectable 90.3% four-year graduation rate, but its 3.6% dropout rate and 28.8% chronic absenteeism rate are areas of concern. The high school also trails the state averages in both Math and English Language Arts test scores. In contrast, the elementary schools, particularly W.W. Woodbury and Prairie View, are excelling with proficiency rates as high as 73.8% in Math and 71.4% in ELA.
The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may be impacting student achievement, as the schools in the Sandwich CUSD 430 district have a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 31.5% to 45.3% free/reduced lunch recipients. Addressing these challenges and leveraging the successful practices of the top-performing elementary schools could be key to improving outcomes across the district.
