Summary:
The Summit School District 104 in Illinois is home to 4 elementary schools: Otis P Graves Elementary School, Walsh Elementary School, Dr. Donald Wharton Elementary School, and W.W. Walker Elementary School. These schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade and are located in the Summit area.
Among the 4 schools, Walsh Elementary School and Dr. Donald Wharton Elementary School stand out as the top performers. Walsh Elementary School is ranked 969 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and has a 3-out-of-5 SchoolDigger star rating, the highest in the district. Both Walsh Elementary and Dr. Donald Wharton Elementary have outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels. Additionally, Dr. Donald Wharton Elementary School demonstrated exceptional 5th-grade Science proficiency, with 52.9% of students meeting or exceeding standards, compared to the district's 24.3% and the state's 40.6%.
However, the other two schools in the district, Otis P Graves Elementary School and W.W. Walker Elementary School, have lagged behind in several key metrics, including test scores and SchoolDigger rankings. This suggests that there may be opportunities for the district to identify and address the factors contributing to these performance gaps. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is a concern that the district should prioritize addressing, as it is linked to lower academic achievement.
