Summary:
Skokie School District 69 in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Thomas Edison Elementary School and Madison Elementary School. While both schools serve a significant population of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, they exhibit notable differences in their performance and resource allocation.
Thomas Edison Elementary School stands out with its larger student enrollment, higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, and lower chronic absenteeism compared to the district and state averages. However, it has a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than Madison Elementary School. In contrast, Madison Elementary School serves younger grades (PK-2) and has a lower student-teacher ratio, but its chronic absenteeism rate is significantly higher than Thomas Edison Elementary School.
Overall, the data analysis suggests that while both schools in Skokie School District 69 face challenges, Thomas Edison Elementary School appears to be more effective in delivering instruction and supporting student learning, particularly in the upper grades. However, addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools could be a focus area to improve overall student engagement and learning outcomes.
