Summary:
The city of Bensenville, Illinois is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in the Bensenville School District 2 and Fenton CHSD 100 generally perform below state averages on academic assessments, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Blackhawk Middle School stands out with a higher statewide ranking and stronger proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to the district and state. Meanwhile, Fenton High School has a relatively high 88.9% four-year graduation rate, higher than the state average, and a lower dropout rate of 2.5%. However, the district as a whole faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% at the elementary schools to 46.6% at Fenton High School.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as all schools in the district have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 56.56% at Fenton High School to 64.82% at Blackhawk Middle School. While the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with the middle and high schools outperforming the elementary schools, the district has the potential for improvement by addressing attendance issues and targeting interventions to support student learning and success.
