Calumet Public School District 132


Summary:

The Calumet Public School District 132 in Illinois serves three schools: two elementary schools (Burr Oak Academy and Burr Oak Elementary School) and one middle school (Calumet Elementary School). However, the data reveals that the district is consistently underperforming compared to state averages across multiple metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free/reduced lunch rates.

The district's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state averages, with the highest ELA proficiency rate at Calumet Elementary School ranging from 18.4% to 22.2% across grades 6-8. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates across all grades and schools were extremely low, ranging from 1.1% to 5.3%. Additionally, the district's chronic absenteeism rates are high, with Burr Oak Academy having the highest rate at 43.7%.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student, the district is still struggling to improve student outcomes, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, coupled with the low academic performance, indicate potential equity issues within the district that require further investigation. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and the underlying systemic challenges should be a priority for the Calumet Public School District 132.
