Elementary Schools in Chicago Ridge School District 127-5


Summary:

The Chicago Ridge School District 127-5 in Illinois has two elementary schools: Ridge Lawn Elementary School and Ridge Central Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with overall ratings of 2 out of 5 stars.

Academically, both schools perform significantly below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the English Language Arts proficiency rate for all grades at Ridge Lawn was 19.8%, compared to the state average of 41.2%. Similarly, the Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades at Ridge Central was 14.6%, compared to the state average of 28.4%. The schools also have high chronic absenteeism rates, with Ridge Lawn at 27.4% and Ridge Central at 23.4% for the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the relatively high spending per student, with Ridge Lawn at $15,664 and Ridge Central at $15,401 for the 2022-2023 school year, the schools continue to struggle academically. This may suggest that resources are not being effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning. The high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with Ridge Lawn at 85.99% and Ridge Central at 61.06% for the 2022-2023 school year, indicate that the schools serve a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the challenges they face in academic achievement.
