Summary:
The city of Summit, Illinois is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Summit School District 104 and the Argo CHSD 217 districts.
Among the schools, Dr. Donald Wharton Elementary School stands out with the highest performance on standardized tests, with 60.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 41.1% proficient or better in Mathematics. This school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.1. Walsh Elementary School also performs well, with 54% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 37.9% in Mathematics, surpassing the district averages.
However, the data also reveals areas of concern, such as high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.4% to 25.4% across all schools, and significant gaps in academic performance between the highest and lowest performing schools. Additionally, the schools have high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.15% to 86.58%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Summit school system.
