Summary:
The city of Blue Island, Illinois is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. While some schools, like Everett F Kerr Middle School and Lincoln Elementary School, demonstrate relatively stronger academic performance, others, such as DD Eisenhower High School (Campus), face significant challenges with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and low graduation rates.
The schools in Blue Island serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. The data reveals that schools with smaller student-to-teacher ratios, like Everett F Kerr Middle School and Lincoln Elementary School, tend to have stronger academic outcomes, highlighting the potential benefits of smaller class sizes. However, the lack of consistent historical data makes it difficult to analyze long-term trends and identify areas of improvement or decline within the district.
Overall, the Blue Island school district appears to have a mix of strengths and challenges, with some schools performing better than others. The district's Cook County School District 130 and Chsd 218 will need to address the disparities in school performance and the socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by certain schools in the area.
