Best Public Schools in Zip Code 60016

Summary:

The 60016 zip code area in Illinois is home to 9 schools, including 7 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, spread across three different school districts: Community Consolidated School District 62 (CCSD 62), East Maine School District 63, and Community Consolidated School District 59. The data reveals significant performance differences among the schools, with some standout institutions leading the pack.

Cumberland Elementary School emerges as the top performer, ranking 171st out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students boast the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (79.6%) and Mathematics (70.8%) compared to the other schools in the area. Terrace Elementary School and Central Elementary School also stand out as high-performing institutions, ranking 320th and 440th, respectively, and earning 4-star ratings.

In contrast, the lower-performing schools, such as North Elementary and Apollo Elementary, have significantly lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. These disparities may be attributed to factors like district ranking, funding, and student demographics, as the top-performing schools tend to have higher spending per student and lower rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.
