Summary:
Skokie School District 73-5 in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: John Middleton Elementary School and Elizabeth Meyer School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in the Skokie community.
John Middleton Elementary School stands out as the high-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 3 years. The school maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and exceeds the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and 5th grade Science proficiency. In contrast, Elizabeth Meyer School serves only pre-K and kindergarten students, so it does not have the same breadth of academic performance data available.
While Elizabeth Meyer School spends significantly more per student than John Middleton Elementary School, the latter school's academic excellence suggests the district is effectively supporting student learning and achievement. However, both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, an area that warrants further investigation and intervention by the Skokie School District 73-5.
