Summary:
The city of Lockport, Illinois is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools in the area, with Lockport Township High School East standing out as the top-performing school, ranking among the top 104 high schools in Illinois and maintaining a consistent 4-star rating. In contrast, Fairmont School and Taft Grade School struggle academically, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.
The data also reveals significant disparities in student demographics and resource allocation across the schools. While Walsh Elementary School and Fairmont School have the lowest student-teacher ratios, they do not necessarily demonstrate the strongest academic outcomes. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates vary widely, with Fairmont School and Taft Grade School having the highest rates, which can significantly impact student learning and progress.
Overall, the data suggests the need for further investigation into the factors driving the performance differences, resource allocation, and equity considerations within the Lockport Township HSD 205, Homer CCSD 33C, Will County School District 92, Fairmont School District 89, Lockport School District 91, and Taft School District 90 to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
