Summary:

The 60002 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from various districts. While the schools in this area display a range of performance levels, a few standout institutions shine brightly.

Antioch Community High School ranks among the top 101 high schools in Illinois and boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. With 61.4% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 42.4% in Mathematics, the school outperforms the state average. Additionally, it maintains a relatively low dropout rate of 2.4%. In contrast, Hillcrest Elementary and W.C. Petty Elementary have significantly lower proficiency rates, particularly in mathematics, suggesting potential performance gaps within the district.

Another standout is Emmons Grade School, a K-8 institution that ranks among the top 437 elementary schools in Illinois and holds a 4-star rating. This school significantly outperforms the state average, with 69.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 57.4% in Mathematics. However, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is a concern that may warrant further attention. Additionally, the wide range in spending per student, from $13,955 to $28,520, suggests the need for a closer examination of the factors driving these differences across the Chsd 117, Antioch CCSD 34, Emmons School District 33, and Grass Lake School District 36.
