Summary:

The Flossmoor School District 161 in Illinois serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade across 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The district's performance is mixed, with some standout schools like Western Avenue Elementary School and Flossmoor Hills Elementary School consistently ranking in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools, while others like Heather Hill Elementary School and Serena Hills Elementary School struggle to meet state benchmarks.

Western Avenue Elementary and Flossmoor Hills Elementary are the top-performing schools in the district, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, the district's middle school, Parker Junior High School, has lower proficiency rates, especially in Mathematics, than the state average. The district as a whole is ranked 408 out of 811 in Illinois and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement.

One key challenge facing the district is the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 33.72% at Western Avenue Elementary to 68.34% at Serena Hills Elementary. This suggests the need for targeted strategies and resources to address the unique needs of these students and ensure equitable educational opportunities across the district. Additionally, the district's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average, is another area that requires attention to improve overall student outcomes.
