Summary:
The Dolton School District 148 in Illinois serves 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools and 3 middle schools, but no high schools or alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 763 out of 813 in Illinois and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in academic performance.
Within the district, a few schools stand out. Park Elementary School has the highest overall performance, ranking 1271 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools and earning 2 out of 5 stars. It has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades compared to the other schools. Roosevelt Junior High School is the second-highest performing school, ranking 905 out of 1363 Illinois middle schools and earning 2 out of 5 stars. It has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science across all grades compared to the other middle schools.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.9% to 54.2%, and proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are significantly below state averages. Additionally, the majority of schools have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite relatively high spending per student, these factors appear to be contributing to the overall low academic performance across the district.
