Summary:
The Morton CUSD 709 district in Illinois is home to 4 elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data analysis reveals a mix of high-performing and relatively lower-performing schools within the district, with two standout schools that have consistently maintained excellent rankings and ratings.
Grundy Elementary School and Lettie Brown Elementary School are the top-performing schools in the district, ranking 116th and 206th, respectively, out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools in 2023-2024. Both schools have consistently earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 3 school years and have outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency.
In contrast, Jefferson Elementary School had the lowest proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics, compared to the other schools in the district. The variation in student demographics, such as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggests potential differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations across the schools, which could be an area for further investigation to ensure equitable access to resources and support for all students.
