Summary:
The Grayslake CCSD 46 district in Illinois serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade across 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 3 middle schools. The data reveals significant variation in school performance, with a few standout institutions leading the way and others struggling to meet proficiency targets.
Meadowview School and Park East School are the top-performing elementary schools, ranking in the top 15% of Illinois elementary schools and earning high ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools have the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades. In contrast, Avon Center Elementary has proficiency rates under 40%, the lowest in the district.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern district-wide, with an average rate of 20.1% that exceeds the state average. Additionally, there are significant disparities in per-student spending, ranging from $13,485 at Park East to $20,850 at Prairieview School. These funding differences and the correlation between economic disadvantage and lower academic performance suggest the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and equity within the district.
