Summary:
The city of Wood Dale, Illinois is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through middle school grades, operated by Wood Dale School District 7. While the middle school, Wood Dale Junior High School, stands out as a strong performer with high test scores, the two elementary schools, Westview Elementary School and Oakbrook Elementary School, face challenges in academic achievement and high rates of chronic absenteeism.
Wood Dale Junior High School stands out as the top performer in the district, with the highest overall test scores and particularly strong 6th grade ELA proficiency. In contrast, Westview Elementary School has the lowest proficiency rates in the district, with only about a quarter of students proficient in ELA and Math. While Oakbrook Elementary School was previously a high-performing school, its rankings have declined in recent years, suggesting the need for further investigation and potential interventions.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are relatively high, ranging from 22.4% to 27.9%, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance. Additionally, the elementary schools in the district generally lag behind state-level performance, highlighting the need for targeted support and improvement strategies to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
