Summary

Parkwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hanover Park, Illinois, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 344 students. The school is part of the School District U-46, which is ranked 594 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Parkwood Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the School District U-46 and the state of Illinois in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 37.2% of Parkwood students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 43.1% for the district and 53.1% for the state. The school also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, with 25.4% of students chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state average of 19.3%. Additionally, Parkwood Elementary School has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Interestingly, Parkwood Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Heritage Elementary School and Ontarioville Elementary School, which are also part of the School District U-46. These schools have higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and a lower percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $17,233 at Parkwood Elementary School in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's academic outcomes suggest that factors beyond funding, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be more influential in driving student success.
