Summary

Lane Elementary School serves 228 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in Alsip, within Alsip-Hazlgrn-Oaklwn School District 126. In 2025–2026, 46% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 40% in math. Math was slightly above the state’s 40% result, but ELA fell below the state’s 56% and the district’s 55%. The central takeaway is that math is a relative strength, while ELA remains Lane’s clearest academic weakness.

Lane’s strongest results are in fifth grade: 59% were proficient in ELA, above the state and district, and 52% were proficient in science, above both as well. Fifth-grade science ranked second among nearby schools with reported results; only Cassell Elementary School scored higher. In all-grades math, Lane was 9 points above the district and 1 point above the state, and ahead of its same-district neighbors, Stony Creek Elementary School and Hazelgreen Elementary School. ELA tells the opposite story: Lane was 11 points below the state and 10 below the district, and below both nearby schools. Fourth- and sixth-grade ELA are particular concerns, with results of 35% and 44%, respectively.

Results have improved substantially: from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, proficiency rose 29 points in ELA and 29 points in math, with math moving from 17 points below the state to 1 point above it. Chronic absenteeism also fell from 39% in 2022–2023 to 14% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 16% and state’s 24%. SchoolDigger ranked Lane at the 42nd statewide percentile and awarded it 2 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 21st percentile and 1 star in 2023–2024; nearby rankings ranged from the 18th percentile at Meadow Lane to the 72nd at Cassell. Lane’s student-teacher ratio was 8.6 in 2024–2025, and 60% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 statewide effectiveness ranking was stronger for African American students, at the 62nd percentile versus Lane’s overall 39th; its ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 54th percentile, up from the 19th in 2023–2024.
