Evanston CCSD 65

Summary:

The Evanston CCSD 65 district in Illinois serves 15 schools, including 12 elementary schools and 3 middle schools. The district as a whole is ranked 217 out of 813 in Illinois and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out for their strong performance. Orrington Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 15% of Illinois elementary schools and earns a 5-star rating, with particularly high proficiency in English Language Arts and Science. Dewey Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School also perform well, ranking in the top 15% and 10% of Illinois elementary schools respectively. At the middle school level, Nichols Middle School stands out as the top-performing middle school in the district, ranking in the top 15% of Illinois middle schools.

While the district as a whole has strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, there is significant variation in the performance of individual schools. Schools with higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower proficiency rates, suggesting socioeconomic factors may play a role in student outcomes. The district may need to address equity concerns to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
