Summary:
The three schools in Country Club Hills School District 160 serve prekindergarten through grade 8: Zenon J Sykuta School serves PK–2, Meadowview School serves grades 3–5, and Southwood Middle School serves grades 6–8. Test results are supplied only for Meadowview and Southwood, so the all-grades averages below do not include Sykuta and are not a same-grade comparison. In 2025–2026, the two reporting schools averaged 24% in ELA and 12% in math, compared with 56% and 40% statewide—shortfalls of 32 and 27 percentage points; the clearest takeaway is that both are substantially below state results in both subjects.
Southwood had the higher all-grades ELA result, at 26% versus Meadowview’s 22%, while Meadowview led in math, 13% to Southwood’s 11%. Both schools remain well below the state in each subject. SchoolDigger ranks both near the bottom of their statewide lists: Meadowview is 1,712th of 1,737 elementary schools, in the 1st percentile, and Southwood is 1,095th of 1,126 middle schools, in the 3rd percentile; SchoolDigger gives each zero stars. These all-grades leaders are not a direct grade-for-grade contest because the schools serve different grades.
Recent trends vary by school: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Meadowview’s ELA result fell 6 percentage points while its math rose 1; Southwood’s ELA rose 1 point while its math fell 1. Across the two schools, the gap with the state widened by 6 points in ELA and 1 point in math. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 34% at Meadowview, 34% at Southwood, and 44% at Sykuta, compared with 37% districtwide and 24% statewide. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 66% at Meadowview, 70% at Southwood, and 45% at Sykuta; student-teacher ratios were 19.5, 15.7, and 14.3, respectively. These are useful context, not explanations for test results.
