Summary:
The Kankakee School District 111 consists of 10 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students in the Kankakee area. The district faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across most schools, high poverty levels, and chronic absenteeism issues.
The standout school in the district is Lincoln Cltrl Center-Montessori Elementary, which has the highest performance across multiple metrics, including proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are significantly above the district and state averages. The Kankakee Junior High School also outperforms the district averages in both ELA and Math proficiency rates for 7th and 8th grade students, while the John Kennedy Middle Grade School shows potential strengths in the early grades.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and consistently low performance on state assessments across most schools. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates, inequities in resource allocation, and systemic issues will be crucial for improving outcomes for all students in the Kankakee School District 111.
