Summary

Crystal Lawns Elementary School is a public elementary school in Joliet, Illinois, serving 352 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Plainfield School District 202, which is ranked 303 out of 811 school districts in the state.

Crystal Lawns Elementary has shown mixed performance on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (55%) and Mathematics (45.3%) that are higher than the state averages but lower than the district averages. The school's performance has been inconsistent over the years, and certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, have performed particularly well, ranking in the top half of Illinois elementary schools. However, the school's White students and Special Education students have performed relatively lower.

Compared to nearby schools, Central Elementary School has consistently outperformed Crystal Lawns, while Grand Prairie Elementary School has significantly lower proficiency rates. Crystal Lawns also has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to its lower overall academic performance. Despite these challenges, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be a potential strength.
