Summary:
The city of Lake Villa, Illinois, is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve students across a diverse range of socioeconomic backgrounds, as indicated by the wide variation in free and reduced-price lunch rates, from 27.04% at Oakland Elementary School to 90.27% at Pleviak Elementary School.
The standout school in the area is Lakes Community High School, which is ranked 66th out of 698 Illinois high schools and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school consistently outperforms the state averages in ACT/SAT assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 58% in ACT/Mathematics to 66.2% in ACT/English Language Arts. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district generally perform around the state averages on the IAR assessments, with some schools, like Oakland Elementary School, outperforming the district and state.
Across the district, there are some persistent challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, around 25.4%, and variations in resource allocation, with per-student spending ranging from $11,299 at Peter J Palombi School to $22,111 at Pleviak Elementary School. These factors suggest the need for targeted interventions and a more equitable distribution of resources to support student success across all schools in the Lake Villa CCSD 41 and Chsd 117 districts.
