Summary:

The Beach Park CCSD 3 district in Illinois serves students from 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing Newport Elementary School and the lowest-performing Kenneth Murphy School and Howe Elementary School in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency.

Despite consistent funding and resources across the district, the schools face significant challenges, including high rates of poverty, with 53% to 71% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and elevated chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% district-wide. The data also shows a concerning trend of declining proficiency rates in both ELA and Math from the 2023-2024 school year to the 2024-2025 school year, suggesting the need for the district to identify and address the root causes of this decline.

On a positive note, Newport Elementary School and Oak Crest School stand out as the highest-performing schools in the district, with Newport Elementary having the highest proficiency rates in ELA (41.9%), Math (28.2%), and Science (26.3%) across all grades. Identifying and learning from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools could be crucial for improving outcomes across the district.
