Summary:
The Alsip-Hazlgrn-Oaklwn School District 126 in Illinois serves 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The district faces several challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and potential equity concerns, though some schools within the district show stronger performance.
Prairie Junior High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 629 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools and achieving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Hazelgreen Elementary School is the second-highest performing school, ranking 1,025 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and also earning a 3-star rating.
However, the district as a whole is ranked 597 out of 813 districts in Illinois and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other districts in the state. The district's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts (34.8%) and Mathematics (17.6%) are significantly lower than the state averages (41.2% and 28.4%, respectively). Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, coupled with the low academic performance, suggest potential equity issues within the district that may require further analysis and targeted interventions.
