Summary:

The 60002 zip code area is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from preschool through 8th grade. These schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with Emmons Grade School standing out as the top performer in the group, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools.

While the schools in the Antioch CCSD 34 district have similar performance, Grass Lake Elementary School lags behind, with proficiency rates 5-10 percentage points below state averages.

Across all schools, the data highlights a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be an area for improvement. Emmons Grade School stands out as the most efficient, with the lowest student-teacher ratio and highest proficiency rates, indicating it is providing a high-quality education to its students.
