Summary:
The Bensenville School District 2 in Illinois consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Tioga Elementary School and W A Johnson School) and 1 middle school (Blackhawk Middle School). The analysis of this district reveals that Blackhawk Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school, with better academic outcomes and a higher state ranking compared to the elementary schools.
While Blackhawk Middle School outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency, the elementary schools struggled, with lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state. Science proficiency rates were higher at Tioga Elementary School and Blackhawk Middle School, but all three schools faced challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to 26%.
The consistent spending per student across the schools, ranging from $18,114 to $18,457, suggests that factors beyond funding may be contributing to the academic performance disparities. The district as a whole faces challenges with low academic proficiency, particularly in Mathematics, and a large proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with all three schools having high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.78% to 64.82%.
