73.1 percent of Zenon J. Sykuta teachers stay put

Hs 09

The Illinois Schools Report Card finds that 73.1 percent of teachers stay at Zenon J. Sykuta School year to year, according to their 2020 three-year average.

The Illinois State Board of Education records data concerning faculty salary, retention and attendance because maintaining a stable faculty makes for a better environment for teachers and students, furthering student success, according to the report.

Country Club Hills SD 160 full-time faculty members number 70, with a student-teacher ratio of 21-to-1. There are 407 students enrolled at the elementary school.

About 100 percent of teachers at the elementary school and 100 percent of those in the district were absent 10 days or fewer in 2020, compared to 86.6 percent of teachers in the state.

Salaries vary depending on the school and district, as well as the teacher's level of experience and education, according to the report. The U.S. Department of Education considers teacher attendance a "leading indicator" of how well students perform. When a high rate of teachers are absent more than 10 days, data shows students perform worse.
