La Salle Education Service District 122

The La Salle Education Service District 122 in Illinois operates two schools: Northwest Elementary School and Lincoln Junior High School. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both are struggling with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and other concerning metrics compared to state averages.

Northwest Elementary School and Lincoln Junior High School have chronic absenteeism rates of 29.2% and 31.2%, respectively, which are significantly higher than the state average. In terms of academic achievement, Northwest Elementary School had only 30.9% of students proficient or better in ELA and 8.7% in Math, while Lincoln Junior High School had even lower proficiency rates of 9.2% in ELA and between 2.2% and 6.4% in Math across different grade levels. These test scores have remained consistently low over the past few years, indicating a lack of improvement in the district.

Both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 64.83% of Northwest Elementary School students and 72.09% of Lincoln Junior High School students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student at both schools, the academic outcomes have not improved, suggesting that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement more effective strategies to support student success.
