Summary:
The city of Evergreen Park, Illinois is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools in the area, with Southwest Elementary School standing out as a top-performing elementary school and Evergreen Park High School showing improvements in its statewide ranking.
Across the schools, there are notable differences in academic performance, with Southwest Elementary excelling in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, while Northeast Elementary struggles, particularly in Math. The high school and middle school also show lower proficiency rates compared to state averages in certain subjects. Chronic absenteeism rates vary, with the high school having a relatively high rate of 19%.
The data suggests that factors such as funding and student demographics may play a role in the disparities observed between the schools. While there is no clear correlation between per-student spending and academic performance, the higher-performing schools tend to have higher spending. Additionally, the differences in free and reduced lunch rates across the schools indicate that socioeconomic factors may contribute to the achievement gap. Understanding these relationships and implementing targeted strategies to address the identified challenges could help improve educational quality and equity across the Evergreen Park Education Service District 124 and Evergreen Park CHSD 231.
