Summary:
The Westchester School District 92-5 in Illinois consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Westchester Primary School and Westchester Intermediate School) and 1 middle school (Westchester Middle School). The district serves a total of 1,036 students, with the largest enrollment at Westchester Primary School.
Among the 3 schools, Westchester Middle School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 560 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools and achieving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The middle school outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency for all grades. In contrast, Westchester Intermediate School showed relatively lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state.
While the district-level performance is consistent, with all 3 schools ranked 484 out of 813 districts in Illinois, the analysis suggests that resource allocation may play a role in the variation of academic outcomes. Westchester Middle School has higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its stronger performance. However, the district faces equity challenges, with high rates of free or reduced-price lunch eligibility and chronic absenteeism across the schools.
