Elementary Schools in Midlothian School District 143

Summary:

The Midlothian School District 143 in Illinois is home to four elementary schools: Central Park Elementary School, Kolmar Elementary School, Springfield Elementary School, and Spaulding School. The data reveals significant performance disparities within the district, with Springfield Elementary standing out as the highest-performing school.

Springfield Elementary has the highest overall proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (49.7%) and Mathematics (35.6%), significantly outperforming the other schools and the district average. The school's 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade proficiency rates in both subjects are also much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Springfield Elementary has the highest SchoolDigger ranking in the district, earning a 2-star rating, and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 25.4% and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 9.8. The school also has the highest per-student spending at $19,299.

In contrast, Central Park Elementary and Kolmar Elementary appear to be the lower-performing schools in the district, with proficiency rates well below the state averages and lower SchoolDigger rankings. The district as a whole struggles with low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and potential equity issues, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to support the lower-performing schools and address these challenges.
