Summary:
The city of Loves Park, Illinois, has 5 schools serving students from elementary to middle school grades, with no high schools or alternative schools in the data set. The schools include 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Harlem UD 122 district. The data highlights both strengths and areas for improvement within the Loves Park school system.
Among the standout schools, Maple Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. As the only middle school in the data set, Harlem Middle School also stands out, with proficiency rates above the district average in both subjects. However, the data also reveals significant achievement gaps, with most schools struggling to keep up with statewide performance levels in ELA and Math.
Across the district, schools face challenges such as high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. These factors may be contributing to the declining performance seen at some schools, such as Rock Cut Elementary and Windsor Elementary. The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address these disparities.
