Summary:
The city of Bolingbrook, Illinois is home to 14 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in this area show a wide range of performance, with some standouts like Jane Addams Middle School and Wayne Builta Elementary School consistently ranking among the top in the state, while others struggle to meet state averages.
Bolingbrook High School, the only high school in the data set, has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and its test scores, graduation rates, and other metrics are generally in line with or slightly below the district and state averages. The middle schools in the area, such as Jane Addams Middle School, tend to outperform the elementary schools, which have higher rates of chronic absenteeism and lower test scores.
The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status and school performance, with the schools that have the highest rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tending to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism. However, Wayne Builta Elementary School, which is part of the higher-performing Indian Prairie CUSD 204 district, stands out with exceptional test scores, low chronic absenteeism, and other strong metrics, suggesting that with the right resources and strategies, schools in the Valley View CUSD 365U district can also improve their performance.
