Best Public Schools in Stickney, IL

Summary:

The city of Stickney, Illinois is home to two elementary schools, Edison Elementary School and Home Elementary School, both part of the Lyons School District 103. While the schools share similar challenges, such as high poverty rates and chronic absenteeism, they have some differences in their academic performance and school environment.

Both Edison Elementary and Home Elementary have a high percentage of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, with Home Elementary having a slightly higher proportion of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, Edison Elementary has higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to the district and state averages, but the scores are still relatively low. Home Elementary has mixed academic performance, with some grades performing better than the district and state, while others perform worse. The high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools, 37.3% at Edison Elementary and 29.1% at Home Elementary, are concerning and may be a contributing factor to the relatively low academic performance.

Despite the challenges faced by these schools, there are some notable differences. Edison Elementary has a slightly higher SchoolDigger ranking (904 out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools) compared to Home Elementary (1,000 out of 2,077), and it also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 12.6, which could impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive. Overall, the data suggests that the Lyons School District 103, which is ranked 662 out of 823 school districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, is facing significant challenges that are impacting the performance of its schools, including Edison Elementary and Home Elementary in Stickney.
