Summary

Barbour Two-Way Lang Immersion is an elementary school in Rockford, Illinois that serves 629 students in grades K-8. It is part of the Rockford School District 205, which is ranked 745 out of 811 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its focus on two-way language immersion, Barbour Two-Way Lang Immersion has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly underperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 42.6% of Barbour students were proficient in ELA compared to 53.1% statewide, and only 20.3% were proficient in Math compared to 38.5% statewide. Barbour also has some of the lowest rankings for student subgroups in the state and extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 46.0% over the past few years.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Galapagos Rockford Charter School and Haskell Elementary School significantly outperform Barbour Two-Way Lang Immersion on test scores and other metrics, despite serving similar high-poverty student populations. Additionally, Barbour spends more per student than some of these higher-performing schools, but this does not translate to better outcomes for its students.
