Summary:
Maywood-Melrose Park-Broadview 89 includes nine schools—seven elementary schools and two middle schools—serving grades PK–8, with no high schools; enrollment ranges from 345 to 682 students. On average, the schools’ 2025–26 results were below state results in both subjects: 43% in English language arts (ELA) versus 56% statewide, and 23% in math versus 40%. The central concern is that the gap widened from the previous year: ELA moved from 9 points below the state to 13 points below, while math moved from 13 points below to 17 points below.
Two schools lead in different subjects. Washington Dual Language Academy had the highest all-grades ELA result, 62%—15 points above the next-highest school, Stevenson Middle School, and 6 points above the state. Jane Addams Elementary School led math at 45%, 13 points above the next-highest school, Roosevelt Elementary School, and 5 points above the state. At the lower end, Emerson Elementary School had the lowest ELA result, 29%, 27 points below the state; Irving Middle School had the lowest math result, 11%, 29 points below the state. Grade-level results add nuance: Washington reached 83% in grade 4 ELA, while Jane Addams reached 57% in grade 4 math.
Recent results varied by school: Irving and Garfield Elementary School improved in both subjects from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while Washington’s ELA rose 5 points and its math fell 7. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 ranking percentiles were highest for Jane Addams at 45 and Washington at 43, and lowest for Emerson at 7 and Irving at 8; all nine schools’ percentiles declined from 2023–24. As context, the average free/reduced lunch eligible share was 58% in 2024–25, ranging from 46% at Jane Addams to 64% at Irving; this measure alone does not explain school results.
