Cook County School District 130

Summary:

The Cook County School District 130 consists of 11 schools, including 8 elementary schools and 3 middle schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. With a total student population of 3,240, the district faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and overall academic performance that lags behind state averages.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Everett F Kerr Middle School has the highest English Language Arts proficiency rates, with 45.9% of students proficient or better, as well as the second-highest math proficiency rates. Lincoln Elementary School boasts the highest math proficiency rates in the district, at 57.1%, and strong English Language Arts proficiency at 40.5%. Additionally, Whittier Elementary School has the second-highest English Language Arts proficiency rates in the district, at 39.4%.

Despite the variation in performance among individual schools, the district as a whole faces significant challenges. The chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is 25.4%, which is substantially higher than the state average. Additionally, the district's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics lag behind the state averages, suggesting opportunities for improvement. The high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.96% to 91.43%, indicate a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may be contributing to the overall academic performance.
