Summary:
The city of Country Club Hills, Illinois is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a district facing significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high poverty levels, and concerning rates of chronic absenteeism across all grade levels.
Among the standout schools, Nob Hill Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio, which could indicate more individualized attention, but also serves the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Zenon J Sykuta School has the lowest state-wide ranking and the highest chronic absenteeism rate. At the high school level, Hillcrest High School has the highest enrollment but the lowest test scores, with only 4.3% and 5.7% of 11th graders proficient in math and English, respectively.
Across the district, the data reveals systemic challenges, including graduation rates below the state average, dropout rates higher than the state average, and test scores that are significantly below state benchmarks. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 58.42% to 97.5%, indicate a predominantly low-income student population, which likely contributes to the academic struggles. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to support the students and community served by the Country Club Hills School District 160.
