Summary:

The W Harvey-Dixmoor PSD 147 district in Illinois serves 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data indicates that the academic performance across the district is significantly below state averages, with all 3 schools ranking in the bottom quartile of Illinois schools.

Test scores at the schools are extremely low, with proficiency rates on the IAR assessments ranging from just 3.6% to 21.4% in math and 21.4% to 34.1% in English language arts, compared to state averages around 40-50%. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, with rates around 25% at all 3 schools, well above the state average. The district serves a high-need population, with 92.6% to 99.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the district's high per-student spending, ranging from $27,574 to $29,876 per student, the academic outcomes remain very poor. This suggests the resources may not be effectively allocated to support student success. The wide variation in student-teacher ratios, from 15.6 to 26.6, is also an area that may warrant further investigation. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture for the W Harvey-Dixmoor PSD 147 district, indicating significant challenges that need to be addressed to improve educational outcomes for students.
