Gower School District 62

Summary:

The Gower School District 62 in Illinois is home to two exceptional schools - Gower West Elementary School and Gower Middle School. Both schools have consistently high academic performance, ranking in the top 10% and 7% of Illinois elementary and middle schools, respectively, and earning 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

Gower West Elementary School boasts impressive test scores, with over 75% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, far exceeding state averages. Gower Middle School also demonstrates strong performance across all grade levels, particularly in English Language Arts. The district's commitment to providing quality education is reflected in the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios at both schools.

While the schools share a common excellence, they do face one area of concern - a 25.4% chronic absenteeism rate at both campuses. This is an issue the district may want to investigate and address to ensure all students have the opportunity to fully benefit from the exceptional educational experience offered at Gower West Elementary and Gower Middle School.
