Summary:
The city of Lyons, Illinois is home to three schools - two elementary schools (J W Robinson Junior Elementary School and Costello School) and one middle school (Washington Middle School) - all part of the Lyons School District 103. The schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.
Among the three schools, Costello School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grades compared to the other schools and the district/state averages. In contrast, Washington Middle School has the lowest academic proficiency rates, indicating a significant gap in performance between the schools.
While the schools in Lyons face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and below-average academic performance compared to state standards, the data also suggests opportunities for improvement. By identifying and learning from the success of Costello School, the district can work to replicate its best practices and address the unique needs of its student population to ensure all students in Lyons receive a high-quality education.
