Salt Creek School District 48

The Salt Creek School District 48 in Illinois operates three schools: two elementary schools (Salt Creek Elementary School and Stella May Swartz Elementary School) and one middle school (John E Albright Middle School). The district is ranked in the top 22% of all districts in Illinois, with a focus on providing a high-quality education to its students.

Among the three schools, John E Albright Middle School stands out as the top performer. It ranks in the top 18% of middle schools in Illinois and has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly higher than both the district and state averages, indicating an exceptional level of academic achievement. In contrast, the two elementary schools, while still performing well, do not demonstrate the same level of standout performance as the middle school.

Across the district, the schools maintain relatively small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 10.8 to 14.7. However, the district faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and lower-than-average math proficiency, particularly at the elementary level. These areas may require targeted interventions and support to ensure continued improvement and equity in educational outcomes for all students in the Salt Creek School District 48.
