Summary:

Dolton School District 148 has nine schools serving grades K–8 in the Dolton area: six elementary schools and three middle schools. In 2025–2026, elementary schools averaged 32% proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 19% in math; middle schools averaged 37% in ELA and 9% in math among the two with reported results. State results were 56% in ELA and 40% in math. The district is ranked 712th of 738 districts, in the 4th percentile with zero stars, by SchoolDigger. The most important finding is that every school-group average is well below the state in both subjects.

Park Elementary School leads the elementary schools, with 48% proficient in ELA and 32% in math; those results are 25 and 20 percentage points above the lowest elementary results, respectively. Washington Elementary School has the lowest elementary ELA result at 22%, while Roosevelt Elementary School has the lowest elementary math result at 13%. Among middle schools, Roosevelt Junior High School stands out in ELA at 53%, compared with 27% at Lincoln Junior High School; Roosevelt’s ELA result is still below the 56% state figure. Its math result is 10%, while Washington Junior High scored 8%; Lincoln’s math result was not reported.

Elementary averages improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, rising 4 percentage points in ELA and 6 in math, though Riverdale School’s ELA score fell 9 points while its math score rose 2. Middle-school ELA rose 9 points on average, but reported middle-school math gained only 1 point, and its gap to the state widened. SchoolDigger percentiles also moved differently from test scores: Park stayed at 39, Roosevelt Junior High fell from 34 to 24, and Washington Junior High fell from 13 to 2. Park and Franklin Elementary School reported 95% and 96% free/reduced lunch eligible, respectively, in SY 2024–2025; the other seven schools report all students receive free meals (Community Eligibility) for that year, a different measure. Park and Riverdale both have a 11.8 student-teacher ratio, despite their different recent ELA trends.
