Summary:
The Ccsd 89 school district in Illinois consists of 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently rank among the top in the state.
Arbor View Elementary School is the clear academic leader in the district, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and over 60% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 65% in Mathematics. Park View Elementary School is another high-performing school, ranking in the top 10% of Illinois elementary schools and excelling in English Language Arts. While the elementary schools generally outperform state averages, there is some variation, with Westfield Elementary lagging behind in Mathematics.
The transition to middle school at Glen Crest Middle School appears to be a challenge, as test scores dip compared to the top elementary schools. However, the district as a whole maintains strong performance, with chronic absenteeism rates below the state average and effective support for students from lower-income backgrounds, as evidenced by the high-performing schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates.
