Summary

Robert Frost Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mount Prospect, Illinois, serving 572 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Wheeling CCSD 21 district, which is ranked 600 out of 811 districts in the state.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $19,576 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.5, Robert Frost Elementary has consistently low academic performance compared to state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 29% of students were proficient or better in ELA and 30.2% in Math, significantly lower than the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school's performance has also been declining over the years, with proficiency rates dropping in both ELA and Math. Nearby schools in the same district, such as Walt Whitman Elementary School and Mark Twain Elementary School, also perform better than Robert Frost Elementary.

Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.8% to 26.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance on subgroup metrics, such as for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, male students, and students with disabilities, is also concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom 25% of Illinois elementary schools in some of these categories. These findings suggest that the school and the district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for all students.
