South Holland School District 150

The South Holland School District 150 in Illinois consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Greenwood Elementary School and McKinley Elementary School) and 1 middle school (McKinley Junior High School). The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with McKinley Junior High School and McKinley Elementary School outperforming the district and state averages on English Language Arts (ELA) tests, while Greenwood Elementary School lags behind significantly.

McKinley Junior High School stands out as a top performer, with 50% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 45.1% for the district and 53.1% for the state. McKinley Elementary School also performs well, exceeding the district and state on both ELA and Math test scores. However, all three schools in the district struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4%, which may be contributing to the academic challenges.

The data also suggests socioeconomic factors may be playing a role, with McKinley Junior High School and McKinley Elementary School serving a high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by their free and reduced lunch rates of over 80%. The district may need to address resource allocation and support for these schools to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
