Forest Park School District 91

The Forest Park School District 91 consists of 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district is located in Forest Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. While the schools in this district show some areas of strong academic performance, they also face challenges in key metrics like math proficiency and chronic absenteeism.

Forest Park Middle School stands out as the top performer in the district, with the highest overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts and strong 8th grade scores in both ELA and Science. In contrast, the elementary schools in the district struggle more with math proficiency, with all schools and grade levels performing below the state average. Science proficiency is also an area of concern, particularly at Betsy Ross Elementary.

Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue across the district, with an average rate of 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year. Despite the district's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, there are disparities in academic performance and resource allocation between the schools. Addressing these challenges and ensuring equitable support for all students will be crucial for the Forest Park School District 91 to improve overall student outcomes.
