Spring Garden CCSD 178

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.
