Summary:
The city of Romeoville, Illinois is home to 7 schools serving students from elementary through high school, operated by the Valley View CUSD 365U district. The data reveals that the two middle schools, A Vito Martinez Middle School and John J Lukancic Middle School, are the standout performers in the district, ranking in the top 30% of Illinois middle schools and boasting the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
At the high school level, Romeoville High School stands out with a strong 92.3% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average, and a relatively low 1.3% dropout rate. However, the school's proficiency rates in SAT Math and ELA are below the state averages, though its science proficiency is on par with the state.
The elementary schools in the district show a wider range of performance, with some schools performing better than others. Across the district, there is a significant population of students from low-income families, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 57% to 69%. This socioeconomic challenge may be a factor in the academic performance of some of the schools. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is a concern, with rates ranging from 18.4% to 37.2% across the schools, an area the district may want to focus on to improve student engagement and outcomes.
