Summary:
The city of Morton Grove, Illinois is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data reveals significant differences in academic performance between the schools, with Park View Elementary School and Golf Middle School standing out as high-performing, while Thomas Edison Elementary School and Melzer School lag behind in proficiency rates.
Park View Elementary School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in both ELA and Math proficiency, and has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 14.9%. In contrast, Thomas Edison Elementary School has the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 22.6% and lower proficiency rates compared to the state and district averages. Golf Middle School also outperforms the state and district averages in both ELA and Math proficiency.
The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and student achievement, as the schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates, such as Thomas Edison Elementary and Melzer School, tend to have lower academic performance. Additionally, the relatively high spending per student across all schools suggests that funding may not be the sole factor driving academic performance, and other factors, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and student engagement, likely play a significant role.
