The Deland-Weldon CUSD 57 school district in Illinois has only one high school, Deland-Weldon High School.

In the most recent 2023-2024 school year, the school is ranked 287th out of 697 and has a 3 out of 5 star rating.
Deland-Weldon High School's academic performance has been a concern, with its students consistently scoring below the state average on the SAT in both mathematics and English language arts. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.5%, significantly higher than the state average. Despite the school's challenges, the district spends a relatively high $24,253 per student, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation.
With only 47 students, Deland-Weldon High School is a very small school, which may present unique challenges in terms of resources, extracurricular offerings, and the ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience. The district may need to closely examine the school's operations and implement targeted interventions to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
