Summary:
The Peru Education Service District 124 in Illinois is home to two schools: Northview Elementary School and Parkside Middle School. Both schools have consistently performed well, with Northview Elementary ranking in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools and Parkside Middle ranking in the top 36% of Illinois middle schools over the past three years.
Northview Elementary School stands out as a strong performer, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for all grades. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% compared to the district and state. Parkside Middle School also performs well, particularly in English Language Arts, where it exceeds the district and state averages. However, its Mathematics proficiency rates are lower, indicating a potential area for improvement.
Both schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at around 55%, suggesting a need for additional support and resources to address potential socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. The differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios between the two schools may also contribute to the variations in academic performance and could be an area for further investigation.
