Summary:
The city of Round Lake Beach, Illinois is home to three elementary schools: Raymond Ellis Elementary School, Round Lake Beach Elementary School, and Avon Center Elementary School. While the overall performance of schools in this area is mixed, Avon Center Elementary stands out as the top-performing school based on key metrics.
Avon Center Elementary is ranked in the top half of Illinois elementary schools, with 31.9% of its students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 27.1% proficient or better in Mathematics. In contrast, the other two schools, Raymond Ellis Elementary and Round Lake Beach Elementary, are ranked in the bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools and have significantly lower proficiency rates. Avon Center Elementary also benefits from being part of the higher-performing Grayslake CCSD 46 district, while the other two schools are part of the lower-ranked Round Lake CUSD 116 district.
Despite the standout performance of Avon Center Elementary, the data reveals systemic challenges across all three schools, including high rates of chronic absenteeism (ranging from 23.4% to 26.8%) and high percentages of students from low-income households (free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 56.14% to 88.01%). These factors may be contributing to the overall lower academic performance observed in the Round Lake Beach area, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
