Summary

Glenn Westlake Middle School is a public middle school located in Lombard, Illinois, serving 967 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Lombard School District 44, which is ranked 299 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Glenn Westlake Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Illinois middle schools over the past 10 years, its academic performance lags behind several nearby high-performing schools in the area. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (53.1%) and Math (37.8%) are slightly below the state averages, with Math being a particular area of weakness. However, the school's 8th grade science proficiency rate of 56.7% is significantly higher than the state average of 45.4%. The school also faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 15.4% to 26.3% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools like Edison Middle School, Hadley Junior High School, and Franklin Middle School, Glenn Westlake Middle School's academic performance is generally lower, particularly in Math. These high-performing schools serve more affluent communities and have lower percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, which may contribute to their stronger academic outcomes. Addressing the equity gaps, improving math proficiency, and tackling chronic absenteeism could be important areas of focus for the school's leadership and the broader Lombard School District 44.
