Summary:
The Westchester School District 92-5 in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Westchester Primary School (grades PK-2) and Westchester Intermediate School (grades 3-5). While both schools face some challenges, they also have unique strengths and areas for improvement.
Westchester Primary School has an enrollment of 389 students and a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%. The school's free and reduced lunch rate is 41.65%, and it spends $14,727 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 15.8. In contrast, Westchester Intermediate School has an enrollment of 320 students, a higher free and reduced lunch rate of 49.38%, and a slightly higher spending per student at $15,283. However, it has a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.3.
Academically, Westchester Intermediate School faces challenges, with its students performing below the district and state averages on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) tests in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency on the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) is also below the district and state averages. These academic performance issues suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes at the school.
