Summary:
The 11 schools in the 60440 zip code area of Bolingbrook, Illinois are part of the Valley View CUSD 365U district, which is ranked 385 out of 813 school districts in the state. The district serves a diverse student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 47.8% to 83.6% across the schools.
While the district has some standout schools, such as Jane Addams Middle School, which consistently ranks among the top 25% of middle schools in Illinois, and John R Tibbott Elementary School, which has above-average test scores, there is significant variation in academic performance across the schools. Some schools, like Bernard J Ward Elementary School, struggle to meet state averages in areas such as test scores and chronic absenteeism.
The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance, with the schools serving more economically disadvantaged populations tending to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism. This raises questions about equity and access to quality education within the district, and highlights the importance of targeted interventions and support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
