Summary:

The Spring Garden CCSD 178 district in Illinois serves two schools: Spring Garden Elementary School and Spring Garden Middle School. While the middle school has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, the elementary school has struggled with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to district and state averages.

The data reveals that Spring Garden Middle School has made significant progress, moving from 913th out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools in 2022-2023 to 567th out of 1,363 in 2023-2024, earning a 3-star rating. In contrast, Spring Garden Elementary School has struggled, with proficiency rates in both ELA and Math falling below the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the elementary school's ELA proficiency was 50% compared to 53.1% statewide, and its Math proficiency was 31.3% compared to 38.5% statewide.

Across both schools, the district faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% and significant differences in test scores between the elementary and middle school levels.
