Summary:

The Atwood Heights School District 125 in Illinois operates three schools: two elementary schools (Lawn Manor School and Meadow Lane School) and one middle school (Hamlin Upper Grade Center). While the district as a whole is underperforming compared to the state, there are some variations in the performance of individual schools within the district.

Hamlin Upper Grade Center stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 671 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency and had relatively higher mathematics proficiency rates. In contrast, Meadow Lane School struggled with lower proficiency rates across the board, but showed some promising pockets of performance in specific grade levels and subject areas, such as 5th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics.

A significant concern across all three schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing strategies to improve student attendance could be a crucial step in improving the district's and individual schools' performance. Overall, the Atwood Heights School District 125 faces significant challenges, but there are opportunities for improvement, particularly by leveraging the strengths of the higher-performing schools within the district.
