Franklin Park Sd 84, IL - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Franklin Park Sd 84

Franklin Park School District 84 serves the village of Franklin Park in Cook County and encompasses pre-kindergarten through eighth grade across four schools: North Elementary, Dan H Pietrini Elementary, Passow Elementary, and Hester Junior High. The district educates a population that is predominantly Hispanic, with a substantial share of white students and smaller Asian, Black, and multiracial enrollment.

The district's academic profile shows strength in English language arts, where students perform more solidly than in mathematics. In grades four, five, and seven, reading proficiency reaches the mid-to-upper range, with grade-four and seventh-grade students particularly strong. Math performance declines as students progress through the grades. Third grade shows the highest math proficiency, while eighth-grade math represents the lowest point across the tested grades. Science proficiency in grades five and eight sits in the lower-to-mid range. The overall proficiency index places Franklin Park above the midpoint among Cook County's school districts, a meaningful position that reflects uneven but not weak attainment.

Enrollment is spread fairly evenly across grades, with slightly higher concentrations in the middle and upper elementary and junior high years. Chronic absenteeism runs below the county median, suggesting reliable daily attendance. Per-pupil spending is in the lower range for the county, which may reflect operational choices or resource constraints worth understanding as a parent, though it does not preclude quality instruction.

A notable pattern emerges in the grade-by-grade trajectory. Primary grades (three through five) show stronger proficiency than middle grades, and the sharp drop in sixth-grade math is one area a parent may want to explore with the school, as it marks a transition point where student performance dips more steeply than typical. Reading performance holds up better through the middle grades, staying in the range of the mid-to-upper fifties and higher into seventh grade before softening slightly in eighth.

The district serves housing within Franklin Park that is moderately valued and rents at a moderate level relative to the broader county. The market shows steady pricing with recent modest appreciation, and rent-to-income ratios suggest homes are accessible to families with middle-range household earnings.

No district-level strategic changes or major recent referendums were identified in available sources, meaning the district's priorities and initiatives would benefit from direct conversation with school administration. Class sizes and specific program offerings beyond the standard elementary and junior-high structure were not available in the data provided. The district does not appear to operate as a charter or magnet district and serves a neighborhood-based community.
