Summary:
The city of Midlothian, Illinois is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 high school, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The data reveals notable differences in the performance and characteristics of these schools, providing valuable insights for parents and the community.
Springfield Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, ranking 1,118 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and significantly outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, Central Park Elementary and Kolmar Elementary have the lowest proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics. The lone high school, Bremen High School, has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89%, but its test scores, especially in Mathematics, are below the district and state averages.
A concerning issue across all Midlothian schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which may impact student learning and overall school performance. Additionally, the significant variation in spending per student, ranging from $15,082 at Spaulding School to $23,800 at Bremen High School, suggests potential imbalances in resource allocation within the Midlothian School District 143 and the Bremen CHSD 228 district.
