Summary:
The Harvey School District 152 in Illinois operates 5 elementary schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district faces significant academic challenges, with all schools performing well below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.
Among the elementary schools, Bryant Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, with the district's best test scores. However, even Bryant lags behind the state averages. The other schools, such as Maya Angelou Elementary School and Holmes Elementary School, struggle with single-digit proficiency rates in many grade levels and subject areas. The district's high rates of poverty, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch percentages, likely contribute to these academic challenges.
Despite higher spending per student and generally reasonable student-teacher ratios, the district has been unable to translate these resources into improved student outcomes. The data suggests the need for the district to closely examine its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to address the root causes of the low academic performance across the schools.
