Summary:
Midlothian School District 143 in Illinois serves three elementary schools: Central Park Elementary School, Kolmar Elementary School, and Springfield Elementary School. While the district as a whole struggles with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism, Springfield Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the district.
Springfield Elementary has the highest statewide ranking, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and significantly outperforms the other two schools in the district and the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. The school also has lower chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the other schools in the district.
In contrast, the district as a whole is ranked 713 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance. Test scores across the district are consistently below state averages, and chronic absenteeism rates are high, ranging from 18.3% to 23.8%. The district's struggles suggest a need for a comprehensive review of policies, practices, and resource allocation to improve student outcomes and better serve the community.
