Summary:
The 60020 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 high school, 1 elementary school, and 1 middle school. While the schools share some similarities, such as comparable per-student spending, they also exhibit notable differences in academic performance and student demographics.
Grant Community High School stands out with a strong 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%. Its test scores are generally on par with district and state averages, with some areas of strength like science proficiency. In contrast, Lotus School and Stanton School have significantly lower test scores, with only around 30-40% of students proficient or better in English language arts and math.
The data suggests that the elementary and middle schools serve a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by their free/reduced lunch rates of over 59%. This may contribute to the lower academic performance observed in these schools compared to the high school, which has a lower free/reduced lunch rate of 44.16%. Additionally, all three schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, which could impact student learning and achievement.
