Franklin Park School District 84

The Franklin Park School District 84 in Illinois consists of 4 schools: 3 elementary schools (Passow Elementary, Dan H Pietrini Elementary, and North Elementary) and 1 middle school (Hester Junior High School).

Among the schools, Passow Elementary stands out with the highest performance across multiple metrics, including the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (79.5%) and Mathematics (64.1%) compared to the district and state averages. It also has the highest statewide ranking among the schools, placing 304th out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools. North Elementary also performs well, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages in both ELA and Math, and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the schools in the district generally outperform the state averages in both ELA and Math proficiency, the data also reveals some challenges, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism (25.4%) and a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 57.4% to 67.89%). Additionally, the middle school, Hester Junior High School, has lower proficiency rates than the elementary schools, particularly in Math, indicating a need for targeted interventions or curriculum adjustments at the middle school level.
