Dolton School District 149


Summary:

The Dolton School District 149 in Illinois serves 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 3 middle schools, but no high schools or alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 793 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing quality education to its students.

New Beginnings Learning Academy has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science among the elementary schools, while Diekman Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Carol Moseley Braun School has the highest proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science across all schools in the district. At the middle school level, S T E M Academy stands out with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and the second-highest in Mathematics.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, low academic proficiency rates in core subjects compared to state averages, and extremely high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The district's low performance suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the schools and students, with the potential to learn from the practices of the standout schools within the district.
