Best Public Schools in Phoenix, IL

Summary:

The city of Phoenix, Illinois has only one school in the data set - Coolidge Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the South Holland School District 151. This district is ranked 678 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coolidge Middle School faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency rates that are well below the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is also quite high. Additionally, the school serves a student population with a very high percentage (99.8%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating substantial socioeconomic disadvantages.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, the academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student performance. A comprehensive approach addressing the underlying factors contributing to the low academic achievement is likely necessary to support the students at Coolidge Middle School.
