Summary:
The Evergreen Park Education Service District 124 in Illinois consists of 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with Southwest Elementary School standing out as the top-performing school.
Southwest Elementary consistently ranks among the best in the state, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts (48.7%) and Math (44%), significantly outperforming the district and state averages. The school also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 7.1% and a high percentage of students meeting or exceeding standards on the ISA Science assessment. In contrast, the other elementary schools in the district struggle, with proficiency rates often below 30% in both ELA and Math.
The data also reveals wide disparities in student demographics and per-student spending across the district. Schools with higher percentages of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, such as Northeast Elementary and Southeast Elementary, tend to have the lowest test scores. Additionally, per-student spending ranges from $13,658 at Central Middle School to $20,669 at Northwest School, which may contribute to the performance differences.
