Burnham School District 154-5


Summary:

Burnham School District 154-5 in Illinois has only one school, Burnham Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 170 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools and has significantly lower proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to the state average, suggesting it is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Despite the school's low performance, it has a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average. However, this increased resource allocation has not yet translated to improved student outcomes. The school also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance.

Overall, the data suggests that Burnham School District 154-5 and its sole school, Burnham Elementary, are facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students. The school's consistently low performance, high poverty rates, and the apparent disconnect between resource allocation and student outcomes warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve the educational outcomes for the students.
