Arbor Park School District 145

The Arbor Park School District 145 in Illinois consists of 4 schools: 3 elementary schools (Scarlet Oak Elementary, Arbor Elementary, and Kimberly Heights Elementary) and 1 middle school (Arbor Park Middle School). The data analysis reveals that Arbor Park Middle School is the standout performer in the district, while the elementary schools face challenges with lower academic proficiency, higher chronic absenteeism, and higher rates of economic disadvantage.

Arbor Park Middle School has the highest overall performance in the district, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grade levels compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Scarlet Oak Elementary has the highest ELA and Math proficiency rates among the district's elementary schools, outperforming the district and state in 4th grade.

The data also reveals significant performance gaps between the district and state averages, particularly in Math proficiency. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at Kimberly Heights Elementary, are a concern and may be contributing to the lower academic performance in the district. The district may benefit from addressing these disparities and focusing on improving overall student outcomes, particularly in Math and for its more vulnerable student populations.
