Best Public Schools in Alsip, IL

Summary:

The city of Alsip, Illinois is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, spread across two school districts: Alsip-Hazlgrn-Oaklwn School District 126 and Cook County School District 130. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools, with significant disparities in academic achievement and other key metrics.

Hamlin Upper Grade Center, a middle school, stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the other schools and the district/state averages.
