Summary:
The Alsip-Hazlgrn-Oaklwn School District 126 in Illinois serves 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The district faces academic challenges, with most schools performing below state averages, but a few standout schools show promise.
Hazelgreen Elementary School is the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 1027 out of 2077 Illinois elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It also has the second-best student-teacher ratio (13:1) in the district. In contrast, Lane Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.8:1) among the elementary schools, which may contribute to its academic performance.
While the district struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, Prairie Junior High School stands out, with 8th grade ELA proficiency (42.1%) and 8th grade Science proficiency (60.6%) exceeding the district and state averages. The data suggests that factors beyond just district-level resources may be at play, and the district could focus on addressing chronic absenteeism and exploring strategies to boost academic performance in lower-performing schools to provide a more equitable and high-quality education for all its students.
