Best Elementary Schools in Round Lake, IL

Summary:

The city of Round Lake, Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Village Elementary School and Park East School. While both serve students in grades K-4, the schools exhibit stark differences in academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation.

Park East School stands out as the higher-performing institution, ranking in the top 10% of Illinois elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students significantly outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Village Elementary School is ranked in the bottom 20% statewide and has a 1-star rating, with student test scores well below state and district levels.

The disparities between the two schools extend beyond academics. Park East School serves a more economically advantaged and racially diverse student population, with a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Village Elementary. Interestingly, Village Elementary spends more per student than Park East School, suggesting that simply allocating more resources does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes.
