Summary:
The Summit School District 104 in Illinois is home to 4 elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools include Otis P Graves Elementary School, Walsh Elementary School, W W Walker Elementary School, and Dr. Donald Wharton Elementary School.
Among these schools, Walsh Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, with the best proficiency rates in English Language Arts (28.3%) and Mathematics (18.1%) across all grades. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 25.4% and spends the most per student at $27,847. In contrast, Dr. Donald Wharton Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates in Science (44%) and the highest 5th-grade proficiency rates in ELA (40%) and Math (11.2%), but also the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 83.33%.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and resource allocation across the district, with some schools consistently outperforming others. Chronic absenteeism rates are also a concern, ranging from 16.4% to 25.4% across the schools. These findings suggest the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to the performance differences and potential strategies to address the challenges faced by the district's elementary schools.
