Summary:

ZIP code 60005 has four public schools serving kindergarten through grade 8: three elementary schools for kindergarten through grade 5 and one middle school for grades 6–8, with 2,240 students enrolled altogether. In 2025–2026, their unweighted average proficiency was 65% in English language arts (ELA) and 57% in mathematics, compared with state results of 56% and 40%. Although the group averaged above the state in both subjects, school results vary widely, and ELA at Juliette Low Elementary was below the state—so an area-wide average does not describe every school.

South Middle School led in ELA at 76.4%, just ahead of Dryden Elementary at 76.0%; Dryden had the strongest elementary results overall, including the area’s highest mathematics proficiency at 69%. South’s mathematics result was 56%, and its grade 8 science result was 82%. At the other end, Juliette Low had the lowest ELA result, 46%—11 percentage points below the state—and the lowest mathematics result, 44%, though that was 5 points above the state. The ELA gap between South and Juliette Low was 31 points; the mathematics gap between Dryden and Juliette Low was 25 points. Juliette Low’s profile is not uniformly low: its grade 5 science result was 56%, 9 points above the state. Westgate Elementary fell between the top and bottom schools, at 63% in ELA and 60% in mathematics.

Over the two most recent test years, South, Dryden, and Juliette Low improved in both IAR subjects, while Westgate declined: its ELA fell 4 points and mathematics 7 points. Science results rose at all four schools. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide rankings were 87th percentile for Dryden, 83rd for South, 73rd for Westgate, and 42nd for Juliette Low; compared with 2023–2024, each school’s percentile position fell by 2 to 15 points, even where test scores improved. As context, all four schools reported the same measure, free/reduced lunch eligible, for 2024–2025: 21% at Dryden, 16% at South, 15% at Westgate, and 59% at Juliette Low. These figures describe school context, not the cause of achievement differences.
