Summary:
Merrionette Park, Illinois is home to a single elementary school, Meadow Lane School, which serves grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 167 students. The school is part of the Atwood Heights School District 125, which is ranked 609 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Meadow Lane School faces significant academic challenges, with test scores that are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate is just 17%, compared to 38.9% for the district and 41.2% for the state. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rate is only 9.7%, compared to 12.6% for the district and 28.4% for the state. The school's science proficiency rate in 5th grade is also low at 28%, compared to 40.5% for the district and 53.2% for the state. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.3%, which could be a contributing factor to the low academic performance.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it spends $12,984 per student, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9, which could indicate smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. However, these factors do not appear to be enough to overcome the school's academic struggles. Further investigation into the school's practices, resources, and student demographics would be necessary to identify the root causes of these issues and develop targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
