Summary:
The Calumet Public School District 132 in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Burr Oak Academy and Burr Oak Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and are part of the same underperforming district.
Based on the available data, neither Burr Oak Academy nor Burr Oak Elementary School stand out as high-performing schools. Both institutions have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average, with Burr Oak Elementary School ranking 1817 out of 2056 Illinois elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, with 25.4% of students being chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year.
While the per-student spending and student-teacher ratios at both schools are relatively high, the resources do not appear to be effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. The data suggests that the Calumet Public School District 132 as a whole is underperforming, and further investigation may be needed to identify the root causes and develop targeted interventions to address the challenges faced by these schools.
