Summary:
The city of Schiller Park, Illinois is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (John F. Kennedy Elementary and Washington Elementary) and 1 middle school (Lincoln Middle School). These schools serve a relatively low-income student population, with 66-70% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across the district.
Among the schools, Lincoln Middle School stands out as the top performer, ranking 492 out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The middle school outperformed the district and state averages in several academic areas, including English Language Arts and Science. In contrast, the two elementary schools performed below the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.
Chronic absenteeism is an area of concern, with John F. Kennedy Elementary having a relatively high rate of 27.8%, significantly higher than the other schools. The district as a whole maintains a consistent level of funding, with per-student spending ranging from $13,541 to $14,908, and relatively low student-teacher ratios between 10.6 and 11.8. These factors suggest a focus on providing a supportive learning environment, but the academic performance data indicates room for improvement, especially at the elementary school level.
