Elementary Schools in Berwyn South School District 100

The Berwyn South School District 100 in Illinois is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across these schools, with some standouts and areas for improvement.

Irving Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with the highest overall test scores in the district, including 36.5% of students proficient or better in ELA and 39.1% in Math. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 27.2%. In contrast, Emerson Elementary School has the lowest overall test scores, but it boasts the lowest student-teacher ratio at 9.8, potentially indicating more individualized attention for students. Piper School also stands out, with the highest science proficiency rates at 69% and the second-highest math proficiency at 30.5%.

The data also reveals high rates of economic disadvantage across the district, with free or reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 67.09% to 87.66%. This suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as the schools with the highest percentages of economically disadvantaged students generally have lower test scores. The district-wide low test scores indicate room for improvement in educational outcomes, and the variations in staffing and resource allocation across the schools may be contributing factors to the disparities.
