Summary:

The Dolton School District 148 in Illinois is home to 7 elementary schools serving students from early childhood through 5th grade. Despite facing significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, the district's schools show a wide range of academic performance.

Park Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with the best proficiency rates in English Language Arts (43.5%) and Mathematics (20%) for the 2024-2025 school year. Riverdale School, serving grades K-4, is another standout, with the second-highest proficiency rates in ELA (39.3%) and Math (23.2%). These two schools are also the highest-ranked in the district by SchoolDigger, with 2 and 1 out of 5 stars, respectively.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools reporting chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4%, well above the state average. Additionally, the district's proficiency rates in ELA and Math are substantially lower than the state averages, suggesting a significant performance gap. Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $23,638 to $35,315, the academic outcomes remain poor, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning.
