Summary:
The city of Round Lake Heights, Illinois has only one elementary school, Indian Hill Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's student population is diverse, with a majority of Hispanic students, as well as significant African American and White student populations.
Academically, Indian Hill Elementary School is struggling, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. Only 5.6% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 28.8%, and the school's mathematics proficiency rates ranged from just 5.4% for 5th graders to 8% for 4th graders, far below the state benchmarks. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.2% may be contributing to these poor academic outcomes.
Despite spending $17,623 per student, which is higher than the state average, the Round Lake CUSD 116 district that Indian Hill Elementary is a part of is ranked 799 out of 823 districts in Illinois and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school may be facing broader systemic challenges at the district level that need to be addressed in order to improve student performance and outcomes.
