Summary:
The La Salle Education Service District 122 in Illinois contains only one elementary school, Northwest Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, with proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling below state averages.
Northwest Elementary School has a statewide ranking that has varied between 1335 and 1485 out of 2067-2082 Illinois elementary schools over the past three school years. Its SchoolDigger rating has also ranged from 1 to 2 stars out of 5 during the same period. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (30.9%) and Mathematics (8.7%) are significantly lower than the state averages (41.2% and 28.4%, respectively), and its Science proficiency rate (47.9%) is also below the state average (53.2%).
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $18,324 and lower student-teacher ratio of 12.2, which are both better than state averages, the academic performance of Northwest Elementary School remains a concern. The school serves a predominantly low-income community, with 64.83% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the challenges the school faces in improving student outcomes. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, teaching practices, and resource allocation may provide more insights into how to support the success of this school and its students.
