Summary:
The Alsip-Hazlgrn-Oaklwn School District 126 in Illinois has only one middle school, Prairie Junior High School, which serves students in grades 7-8. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 465 out of 1,369 Illinois middle schools in 2021-2022 to 629 out of 1,363 in 2023-2024.
Prairie Junior High School's academic performance is mixed, with stronger results in English Language Arts but weaker performance in Mathematics compared to district and state averages. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be fully effective in driving student achievement.
Overall, the data suggests that Alsip-Hazlgrn-Oaklwn School District 126 may need to focus on improving academic outcomes, particularly in Mathematics, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate at Prairie Junior High School. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions could help the school and district address these challenges and improve student success.
