Summary:
The city of Stickney, Illinois is home to two elementary schools, Edison Elementary School and Home Elementary School, both part of the Lyons School District 103. While the district is ranked 610 out of 813 in Illinois and has a 1-star rating, the schools show some notable differences in their performance and characteristics.
Edison Elementary School stands out with a higher statewide ranking, 882 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools, compared to Home Elementary School at 1,007. Edison also has a higher percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades, outperforming both Home Elementary School and the district average. However, Home Elementary School has a higher percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to Edison Elementary School and the district.
Both schools face challenges, with relatively low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages, as well as high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at Edison Elementary School. The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicate that these schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may impact academic performance and resource needs. While Edison Elementary School spends more per student, the efficient allocation of resources remains a question, as the schools' performance is not significantly different.
