Summary:
The Aurora West Unified School District 129 in Illinois operates 11 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The district's schools vary in size, with student populations ranging from 286 to 563 students.
Based on the data, a few schools stand out for their strong academic performance. Fearn Elementary School consistently performs above the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, and has the highest 5th grade science proficiency rates. Freeman Elementary School also demonstrates impressive academic results, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state in both ELA and Math, and the highest overall ELA proficiency rates in the district. Similarly, Goodwin Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in Mathematics across all grade levels.
However, the district's overall proficiency rates in ELA and Math are significantly below the state averages, with only a few schools performing at or above the state level. This is particularly concerning in 3rd grade, where most schools score below 30% in both ELA and Math. Additionally, 5th grade science proficiency is an area of concern, with most schools scoring below the state average. The data also suggests that schools with higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower academic performance, indicating a need for the district to address equity and resource allocation to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
