Summary:
The Grayslake CCSD 46 district in Illinois serves students from 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and no high schools or alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 268 out of 811 school districts in the state and has a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Several schools in the district stand out as high-performing, including Meadowview School, Park East School, Woodview School, and Prairieview School. These schools rank among the top 25% of elementary schools in Illinois and have strong test scores, with proficiency rates ranging from 52.3% to 71.5% across ELA and Math. However, the district also has some struggling schools, such as Avon Center Elementary, which suggests there may be significant performance gaps within the district.
The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is higher than the state average, which may be contributing to the mixed academic performance. Additionally, there is a wide range in free/reduced lunch rates across the schools, from 23.2% at Meadowview School to 54.55% at Avon Center Elementary, indicating potential equity issues that may be impacting student outcomes. The data also suggests a correlation between higher per-student spending and better academic performance, with the highest-spending schools being among the top performers in the district.
