Summary:

The South Holland School District 151 in Illinois serves students from preschool through 8th grade across 4 schools - 3 elementary schools (Taft School, Madison School, and Eisenhower School) and 1 middle school (Coolidge Middle School). While the district as a whole faces significant academic challenges, a few schools stand out with stronger performance.

Madison School is the top performer in the district, with the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (45.3%) and Mathematics (33.7%) across all grades in 2024-2025, outpacing both the district and state averages. Eisenhower School also shines, with the highest Mathematics proficiency rate in the district at 46.4%, well above the district (28%) and state (38.5%) averages.

However, the district as a whole struggles, with all schools performing well below state averages on state assessments. The schools serve a high-need student population, with extremely high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.32% to 99.62%. Additionally, the district faces high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4%, significantly above the state average. While the district spends significantly more per student than the state average, this does not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement, raising questions about the effective use of resources.
