Summary:

The Burbank School District 111 in Illinois serves 8 schools, including 7 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The district's academic performance varies, with a few standout schools like Edward J Tobin Elementary School and Richard Byrd Elementary School leading the way in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. However, the district faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools and significant disparities in academic achievement between the top-performing and lower-performing schools.

Edward J Tobin Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with 53.6% of students proficient or better in ELA and 44.2% in Math in 2024-2025, well above the district and state averages. Richard Byrd Elementary School also has strong academic performance, with 56.2% of students proficient or better in ELA, the second-highest in the district. Meanwhile, J B Kennedy Elementary School stands out for its relatively high Math proficiency rate of 41.8%, above the district average.

Despite these bright spots, the district faces significant challenges. All schools in the Burbank School District 111 had a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is quite high. Additionally, there are large gaps in proficiency rates between the top-performing and lower-performing schools, suggesting potential inequities in resources, instruction, or other factors impacting student learning. The district's per-student spending and student-teacher ratios also vary, but these factors do not necessarily correlate with the strongest academic outcomes, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the district's challenges.
