Summary:
The 61115 zip code area of Rockford, Illinois is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Harlem UD 122 school district. While the district as a whole is ranked 627 out of 813 in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Olson Park Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing elementary school, ranking 656 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating. It has the strongest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades compared to the other elementary schools in the area. Ralston Elementary School is the second-highest ranked elementary school, with a statewide ranking of 996 and also earning a 3-star rating.
However, the data reveals significant performance gaps across the schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally lower than state averages. Harlem High School stands out with particularly low proficiency rates on the SAT, well below state levels. The high rates of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by free/reduced lunch eligibility, suggest these schools may benefit from targeted interventions and support programs to address the specific needs of their student populations and improve overall academic outcomes.
