Summary:
The 60005 zip code area in Illinois is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school, all part of the Arlington Heights School District 25 and the Community Consolidated School District 59. The schools in the Arlington Heights district consistently outperform state averages, with South Middle School, Westgate Elementary, and Dryden Elementary ranking among the top 10-20% of schools in Illinois. In contrast, Juliette Low Elementary, part of the lower-performing Community Consolidated School District 59, lags behind with significantly lower test scores.
The Arlington Heights schools boast impressive test scores, with 74.2-80.9% proficiency in English Language Arts and 51.8-66.7% in math, far exceeding the state averages. These schools also maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 9.4 to 15 students per teacher, which may contribute to their strong academic performance. However, all schools in the area face a challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates, at 25.4%, which is higher than the state average.
While the Arlington Heights schools demonstrate excellence, the data also highlights the challenges faced by Juliette Low Elementary, which serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Despite spending more per student ($20,483) compared to the Arlington Heights schools ($17,000), Juliette Low's test scores lag behind, with only 42.2% proficiency in ELA and 39.7% in math. This suggests that the school may require additional support and resources to address the unique needs of its student population and improve academic outcomes.
