Elementary Schools in Rockford School District 205

Summary:

The Rockford School District 205 in Illinois is home to 27 elementary schools serving students from diverse backgrounds. The district's elementary schools showcase a range of academic performance, with some standout institutions delivering exceptional results while others face significant challenges.

Thurgood Marshall Elementary is the clear standout, ranking 1st out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. With 96% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 97% in Mathematics, Thurgood Marshall demonstrates that high-quality education can be provided even in schools with a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, Lewis Lemon Elementary and McIntosh Elementary struggle, with proficiency rates below 10% in both subjects.

Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue across the Rockford School District 205, with an alarming district-wide rate of 38.3%. However, Haskell Elementary School and Thurgood Marshall stand out with much lower chronic absenteeism rates of 14.6% and 6.8%, respectively. Addressing this challenge will be crucial for the district to improve overall educational outcomes.
