Summary:
Grass Lake School District 36 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the Grass Lake community, with only one elementary school, Grass Lake Elementary School. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and has a relatively small enrollment of 179 students.
Grass Lake Elementary School's academic performance has been mixed compared to state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (47.4%) and Math (35.1%) were lower than the state averages (53.1% and 38.5%, respectively). However, in the previous year, the school's proficiency rates in both subjects were higher than the state averages. The school's Science proficiency on the Illinois Science Assessment was also below the state average in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025 was notably higher than the state average.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $28,520 in 2023-2024, its overall academic performance appears to be inconsistent, with some grade levels and subject areas performing above the state average, while others are significantly below. This suggests that Grass Lake School District 36 may have room for improvement in providing a more consistent, high-quality education across all grades and subjects at Grass Lake Elementary School.
