Summary:
The Beach Park CCSD 3 school district in Illinois contains 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. While the district spends above the state average per student, the academic performance of these schools is significantly below state averages, with low proficiency rates on standardized tests and declining state rankings.
Among the 4 schools, Oak Crest School stands out as the highest performer, with the best overall test scores, the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate. Newport Elementary School is the second-highest performer, with the district's best 3rd and 4th grade Math proficiency. However, all schools in the district struggle with extremely low proficiency rates, well below the state average.
The elementary schools in Beach Park CCSD 3 serve predominantly low-income student populations, with high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This, combined with high chronic absenteeism rates, likely contributes to the significant academic challenges these schools face. Addressing these systemic issues will be crucial to improving outcomes for students in this district.
