When compared to other schools in the Prospect Heights School District 23, Anne Sullivan performs similarly in ELA and Mathematics.

While Anne Sullivan's spending per student has increased from $15,128 in 2020-2021 to $18,775 in 2023-2024, it is still lower than the nearby higher-performing schools, which may contribute to the performance gap.

Open Quote District 23 formed grade level centers in 2011 despite the communities struggle to prevent this from happening. The moral of the staff has been in a downward spiral ever since. The district claimed the change would reduce class size and save money in the long run. However, class sizes have been on the increase and the teachers went on strike in 2015. Arlington Heights District 25 is a MUCH better school district! Close Quote
