Summary:
The 60451 zip code in New Lenox, Illinois is home to 6 elementary schools that are part of the New Lenox School District 122. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of academic and extracurricular opportunities.
Among the standout schools in this area, Spencer Pointe and Nelson Prairie School have the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. These schools also have the lowest chronic absenteeism rates. Another strong performer is Arnold J Tyler School, which has above-average proficiency rates in both subjects.
However, the data also reveals some areas of concern across the district, such as consistently high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% at all schools, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the varying free/reduced lunch rates among the schools may indicate differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations, which could contribute to the performance gaps observed. The data suggests that higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios do not necessarily translate to better academic performance, highlighting the need for the district to investigate and implement targeted strategies to support student success.
