Summary

Ludwig Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lockport, Illinois, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 316 students. The school is part of the Will County School District 92, which is ranked 119 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ludwig Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are significantly higher than the state averages, particularly in recent years. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 71.8% compared to the state's 53.1%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 54.2% compared to the state's 38.5%. The school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) for 5th grade is also strong, with a 51.6% proficiency rate in 2024-2025, compared to the state's 40.6%. Within the same district, Reed Elementary School and Walsh Elementary School have similar high academic achievement.

However, Ludwig Elementary School has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 10.7% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the state average. The school's higher per-student spending of $22,445 in 2023-2024 and lower student-teacher ratio of 10.1 in 2023-2024 may be contributing factors to its academic success, but further analysis would be needed to establish a clear causal relationship. Overall, Ludwig Elementary School is a high-performing school within its district and the state, with particular strengths in supporting the academic achievement of its student populations, but the increase in chronic absenteeism rates is a concern that should be addressed.
