The city of Alsip, Illinois is home to 7 schools across 3 different school districts, serving students from elementary to middle school grades. The schools in Alsip have a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of Hispanic and African American students. While the schools generally perform below state averages in academic proficiency, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Hazelgreen Elementary School stands out with the second-best student-teacher ratio and the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science among the elementary schools in the Alsip-Hazlgrn-Oaklwn School District 126. In contrast, Lane Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district but lags behind in academic performance. At the middle school level, Hamlin Upper Grade Center has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among the middle schools.
The data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance, student-teacher ratios, and spending per student across the schools in Alsip. Chronic absenteeism rates are a concern, ranging from 11% to 39%, which may be impacting academic achievement. Additionally, the wide range in spending per student, from $11,082 to $19,818, raises questions about the equity of resource allocation across the district. By addressing these challenges, the schools in Alsip can work to ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students.
