Aurora East Unified School District 131

Summary:

The Aurora East Unified School District 131 in Illinois operates 18 schools, including 13 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 785 out of 813 in Illinois and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in student performance and engagement.

However, there are a few standout schools within the district. C I Johnson Elementary School ranks 596 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and is rated 4 out of 5 stars, significantly outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. Similarly, Fred Rodgers Magnet Academy, a middle school, ranks 250 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools and is also rated 4 out of 5 stars, with impressive proficiency rates across core subjects.

Across the district, there are concerning performance metrics, including a graduation rate at East High School that is below the state average, high chronic absenteeism rates, and proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science that are significantly below state averages at most schools. These challenges suggest the district may need to implement significant improvements and interventions to raise student achievement and better serve its students.
