Summary:
Signal Hill School District 181 in Illinois has only one elementary school, Signal Hill Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling below the state averages. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, indicating a significant investment in resources.
Signal Hill Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 934 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools in 2023-2024 (3 out of 5 stars) to 1,201 out of 2,077 in 2022-2023 (2 out of 5 stars). The school's proficiency rates in ELA (35.5%) and Mathematics (24.2%) were below the state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. Science proficiency (38.9%) was also lower than the state average of 53.2%. While 3rd-grade students performed better than the state average in ELA, the school's overall academic performance appears to be inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (60.82%) at Signal Hill Elementary School suggests a relatively high-need student population, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. Despite the district's investment in resources, as evidenced by the low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, the school's performance data indicates that there may be opportunities for improvement in areas such as curriculum, instructional practices, and targeted interventions to support student learning, particularly in Mathematics and Science.
