Summary:
The W Harvey-Dixmoor PSD 147 district in Illinois serves 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school. Based on the available data, these schools are collectively struggling, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and poor overall performance compared to state averages.
None of the schools in the district stand out as high-performing. Rosa L Parks Middle School has the highest ELA proficiency rate at 13.7%, but this is still far below the state average of 41.2%. Math proficiency is even lower, with the best performance being 1.5% for 7th grade at Rosa L Parks. Chronic absenteeism rates range from 36.1% at the middle school to as high as 59.8% at Lincoln Elementary.
Despite relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $27,872 to $29,014, the academic outcomes at these schools remain very poor. This suggests that the funding is not being effectively utilized to support student learning. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios vary significantly, from 15.9 at Martin L King Elementary to 31.9 at the middle school, indicating potential differences in resource allocation that could be further examined.
