Summary:
The South Holland School District 151 in Illinois serves students from 4 schools - 3 elementary schools (Taft School, Madison School, and Eisenhower School) and 1 middle school (Coolidge Middle School). The district faces significant challenges, with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates across the schools.
Coolidge Middle School stands out with the highest enrollment and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate, but it also has the lowest test scores in the district, with only 28.6% of students proficient in ELA and 12.6% in Math. In contrast, Eisenhower School has the highest Math proficiency rates at 26.1%, but the lowest ELA proficiency rates at 19.6%.
The district as a whole struggles academically, with test scores well below the state averages in both ELA and Math. Additionally, the district serves a predominantly low-income student population, with over 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high per-student spending, the district's overall performance and ranking (678 out of 813 in Illinois) suggest that the investment is not translating into improved student outcomes, indicating the need for a comprehensive review of the district's policies, practices, and resource allocation.
