Cicero School District 99

Summary:

The Cicero School District 99 in Illinois consists of 14 schools, including 11 elementary schools and 3 middle schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 718 out of 813 in Illinois and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing high-quality education to its students.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Abe Lincoln Elementary School has the highest overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts (27.7%), Mathematics (18.5%), and Science (53.1%), as well as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5. Sherlock Elementary School also has strong performance, with the second-highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (26.9%) and the third-highest in Mathematics (15.8%), along with a low student-teacher ratio of 16.2. Additionally, Cicero East Elementary School and Columbus East Elementary School stand out as the middle schools with the highest overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts (25.4% and 25.1%, respectively).

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 24.8% to 41.8%, with an average of 32.9%), consistently lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to state averages, and very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (averaging 87.8%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Addressing these issues and identifying the factors that contribute to the success of the district's top-performing schools could be crucial steps in improving educational outcomes for all students in the Cicero School District 99.
