Summary:
The city of Flossmoor, Illinois is home to a diverse set of schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area demonstrate a mix of strong and average academic performance, with some standout institutions like Western Avenue Elementary School consistently ranking among the top in the state.
The elementary schools in Flossmoor School District 161 generally outperform the state averages in English Language Arts, but lag behind in Mathematics. In contrast, Homewood-Flossmoor High School has lower-than-average proficiency rates in ACT/SAT subjects compared to the state. The district's middle school, Parker Junior High School, also struggles to meet state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Interestingly, the per-student spending at Homewood-Flossmoor High School is significantly higher than the district's middle and elementary schools, suggesting a need to re-evaluate resource allocation across the district. Additionally, all schools in the district report a 25.4% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state average and an area of concern that the district may need to address.
