La Grange School District 105 South

The La Grange School District 105 South consists of 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school, serving students in the La Grange area. The district as a whole outperforms the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with a few standout schools leading the way.

Seventh Ave Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Illinois, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and the highest proficiency rates in ELA and Math across all grades compared to the other schools in the district. Spring Ave Elementary School is another high-performing school, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools with strong proficiency rates, particularly in 6th grade ELA and 3rd grade Math. The district's only middle school, Wm F Gurrie Middle School, ranks in the top 10% of Illinois middle schools and has solid proficiency rates, especially in 8th grade ELA and Science.

In contrast, Ideal Elementary School and Hodgkins Elementary School struggle the most, with significantly lower proficiency rates. These schools also have the highest rates of chronic absenteeism and the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be contributing factors to their lower academic performance.
