Summary:
The La Grange School District 105 South consists of 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school, serving students in the La Grange area. The district's performance varies significantly, with some standout high-performing schools like Seventh Ave Elementary School, which ranks in the top 5% of Illinois elementary schools, and others, like Hodgkins Elementary School, struggling academically.
Seventh Ave Elementary and Spring Ave Elementary School are the top-performing schools in the district, with 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, Hodgkins Elementary has the lowest test scores in the district, with only 7.7-43.8% of students proficient or better in ELA and math, as well as the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 41.5%.

Overall, the La Grange School District 105 South shows a wide range of academic performance, with some exceptional schools and others that are struggling. The district as a whole is ranked above average compared to other districts in Illinois, but the significant variation in individual school performance suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement or further investigation within the district.
