Summary:
The Dolton School District 149 in Illinois is home to 5 elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The data reveals significant challenges facing these schools, with overall academic performance well below state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Among the standout schools, New Beginnings Learning Academy stands out with the highest overall test scores and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 31.1%. Diekman Elementary School and Carol Moseley Braun School also demonstrate relatively stronger performance compared to their peers. However, all schools in the district struggle with extremely high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 96.86% to 100%, indicating significant economic disadvantage among the student populations.
