Summary:
The Westchester School District 92-5 in Illinois serves students from preschool through 8th grade across three schools: Westchester Primary School, Westchester Middle School, and Westchester Intermediate School. The district serves a relatively low-income student population, with a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.
Westchester Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking among the top 25% of Illinois middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with particularly strong results in 8th grade English Language Arts and 7th grade Mathematics. In contrast, Westchester Intermediate School has struggled with lower proficiency rates, especially in 3rd grade English Language Arts.
While Westchester Primary School does not have the highest academic performance in the district, it stands out for its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.8, which may contribute to more personalized attention for students. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the district may reflect efforts to allocate resources to address the needs of the predominantly low-income student population, but further analysis would be needed to understand the impact of these resource allocations.
