Elementary Schools in Salem School District 111

Summary:

The Salem School District 111 has only one elementary school, Hawthorn Elementary School, which serves grades K-3. While Hawthorn Elementary's math performance exceeds the district and state averages, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency lags behind. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it serves a disadvantaged population.

Hawthorn Elementary School's 2024-2025 academic performance shows that 54.3% of students were proficient or better in math, outpacing the district's 33.2% and the state's 38.5%. However, in ELA, only 46.7% of Hawthorn students were proficient or better, compared to 62.6% for the district and 53.1% for the state. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is also higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, Hawthorn Elementary has some strengths, including a low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 and higher-than-average spending per student at $11,180. These factors may contribute to the school's better-than-average math performance. Overall, while Hawthorn Elementary faces some academic hurdles, the data suggests the district is allocating resources to support the needs of its student population.
