Summary:
The city of Bedford Park, Illinois has only one elementary school, W W Walker Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has been consistently below state and district averages, ranking in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools.
W W Walker Elementary School has struggled academically, with only 39.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 26.4% proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5% respectively. The school's performance has declined over the past few years, and its standardized test scores are well below the Summit School District 104 and state averages. Despite a low student-teacher ratio of 7.9 to 1 and relatively high spending of $32,930 per student, the school has struggled to effectively educate its students.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 51.46%, suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. This could be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles, and may require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population.
