Summary:
The city of Bridgeview, Illinois is home to three elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade: Bridgeview Elementary School, George W Lieb Elementary School, and Robina Lyle Elementary School. These schools are split between two different school districts, Indian Springs School District 109 and Ridgeland School District 122.
Among the three schools, George W Lieb Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the other schools and district/state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, 61.3% of students were proficient or better in ELA, and 48.1% were proficient or better in Math. The school's statewide ranking has also improved, moving from the bottom half to the top half of Illinois elementary schools. Meanwhile, Robina Lyle Elementary School excels in 5th and 6th grade ELA assessments, with over 60% of students scoring proficient or better.
However, all three schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of around 25% and varying levels of economic disadvantage among their student populations, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rates. Addressing these issues could be key focus areas for improving educational outcomes across the Bridgeview elementary school community.
