Burbank School District 111

The Burbank School District 111 in Illinois consists of 8 schools, including 7 elementary schools and 1 middle school, serving students from diverse backgrounds. The district as a whole is ranked 613 out of 813 in Illinois and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement in academic performance.

Among the standout schools in the district, Harry E Fry School stands out with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science, as well as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. J B Kennedy Elementary School also excels, with the highest proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science, while Edward J Tobin Elementary School has the second-highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and the highest in Mathematics.

However, the data also reveals significant variation in academic performance across the district, with chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 13.9% to 26.1% and proficiency rates in core subjects varying widely between schools and grade levels. Additionally, the high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.74% to 74.89%, suggest that many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may be contributing to the overall lower academic performance compared to state averages. The district should focus on identifying and sharing best practices from the higher-performing schools to support the success of all students.
