Summary:
The 62034 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, Albert Cassens Elementary and Glen Carbon Elementary School, both part of the Edwardsville CUSD 7 school district. While Albert Cassens Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, it still performs slightly below the district and state averages in ELA and Math proficiency, but exceeds them in Science proficiency. In contrast, Glen Carbon Elementary School does not have historical ranking data available, but spends more per student than Albert Cassens.
Both schools face challenges with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, with Albert Cassens at 12.4% and Glen Carbon at 14.0%. This is an area of concern that the district should address, as chronic absenteeism can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement. Additionally, the differences in test scores, chronic absenteeism, and per-student spending between the two schools may suggest potential equity issues within the district that warrant further investigation.
Overall, the data analysis reveals some areas of concern, such as the declining performance at Albert Cassens Elementary, high chronic absenteeism rates, and potential equity issues within the Edwardsville CUSD 7 district. The district should closely examine these findings and develop targeted strategies to address the identified challenges and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
