Summary:
The Atwood Heights School District 125 in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Lawn Manor School and Meadow Lane School. Both schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade, but their performance on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism rates is consistently below the state average.
Neither school stands out as a clear academic leader, with both ranked relatively low within the state. Atwood Heights School District 125 as a whole is ranked 609 out of 813 in Illinois and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Chronic absenteeism rates are a concern, with Lawn Manor School reporting a high rate of 29.9% and Meadow Lane School at 14.3%. Both schools also struggle with significantly lower-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state.
While the data does not provide information on free and reduced lunch rates, the difference in spending per student between the two schools is notable, with Meadow Lane School spending approximately $2,200 more per student than Lawn Manor School. This raises questions about potential equity issues within the district. Additionally, the higher chronic absenteeism rate at the younger grades of Lawn Manor School may indicate unique challenges in engaging and retaining younger students.
