Best Public Schools in Grant Park, IL

Summary:

The city of Grant Park, Illinois is home to two schools - Grant Park Elementary School and Grant Park High School, both part of the Grant Park CUSD 6 district. While the elementary school has shown strong academic performance, the high school stands out as a consistently high-performing institution, ranking in the top half of Illinois high schools for the past three school years.

Grant Park High School boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year and has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in two out of the last three school years. The school's 2023-2024 SAT scores in Mathematics (30.6% proficient) and English Language Arts (27.8% proficient) also exceed the state averages. In contrast, Grant Park Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its academic performance, with some grade levels and subject areas showing declines in proficiency rates over the past few years.

Despite the differences in academic performance, both schools have similar student-teacher ratios, with 12 students per teacher at the elementary school and 12.9 students per teacher at the high school. However, the elementary school has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (43.09%) compared to the high school (30%), which may indicate differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations. Additionally, the high school has a higher per-student spending of $16,168 compared to $13,379 at the elementary school, suggesting potential funding disparities within the district.
