Summary

Scott Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Melrose Park, Illinois, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 399 students. The school is part of the Mannheim School District 83, which is ranked 623 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Scott Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1037 and 1722 out of over 2,000 schools in recent years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 38.8% of students proficient or better in ELA and 25.3% proficient or better in Math, compared to 53.1% and 38.5% statewide, respectively. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.4% to 26.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 60-69% of students at Scott Elementary qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Mannheim School District 83, such as Westdale Elementary and Roy Elementary, also perform poorly, with similar rankings and test scores to Scott Elementary. However, the nearby schools in the Franklin Park School District 84, such as Passow Elementary and North Elementary, significantly outperform Scott Elementary, with higher rankings, test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by Scott Elementary may be more closely tied to the Mannheim School District 83 as a whole, rather than just the individual school.
