These schools serve a diverse student population and demonstrate a range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Virgil I Grissom Middle School and John A Bannes Elementary School leading the way.

Tinley Park High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89%, while Virgil I Grissom Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Illinois, with over 70% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools, even within the same Kirby School District 140 and Ccsd 146. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, ranging from 25.4%, suggest an area for further investigation and targeted interventions. While per-student spending varies, the data does not show a clear correlation between funding and student outcomes, indicating that other factors, such as school leadership and teaching quality, may play a significant role in driving academic performance.
