Summary:
The Worth School District 127 in Illinois consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Worth Elementary School and Worthwoods Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Worth Junior High School). The data reveals significant performance disparities between the middle school and elementary schools in the district.
Worth Junior High School stands out as the highest-performing school, consistently ranking in the top half of Illinois middle schools over the past 3 years. It has higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, the two elementary schools lag behind, with rankings in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools and lower proficiency rates in core subjects.
Across all 3 schools, the district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which likely contribute to the academic performance gaps. Additionally, the uneven distribution of funding and resources, with the highest spending per student at the lower-performing Worth Elementary School, suggests opportunities to ensure more equitable allocation. Addressing these systemic issues could help the Worth School District 127 raise academic achievement and improve outcomes for all students.
