Waukegan CUSD 60

Summary:

The Waukegan CUSD 60 district in Illinois serves 21 schools, including 15 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools within the district, with significant performance gaps between them.

The top-performing schools in the district include H.R. McCall Elementary School, Andrew Cooke Magnet Elementary School, John S. Clark Elementary School, and Little Fort Elementary School. These schools have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the rest of the district, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates.

However, the district as a whole faces challenges, including low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and widespread chronic absenteeism, particularly at the secondary level. Additionally, the majority of schools have high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage. Addressing these equity issues and learning from the practices of the top-performing schools will be crucial for Waukegan CUSD 60 to improve educational outcomes for all students.
