Wealthy Stevenson versus struggling Waukegan schools highlight funding gap
Across Illinois, Stevenson District 125 shows lavish facilities and high per pupil spending near 19 thousand dollars while Waukegan District 60 serves a minority student body with sparse resources and about twelve and a half thousand dollars per pupil. The split mirrors national trends where post crisis funding shifts left poorer districts with fewer aids, larger class sizes, and delayed upgrades.
