Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 60025 include eight schools—seven elementary schools and one middle school—in three districts. Six schools have test results in the supplied data; Henking Elementary School and Lyon Elementary School have no test scores supplied. Across the six schools with results, the average is 75% proficient in ELA and 63% in math, compared with state averages of 56% and 40%; the most important takeaway is that these strong area averages conceal sizable differences between schools.
Avoca West Elementary School leads the all-grades ELA results at 88%, while Glen Grove Elementary School leads math at 75%. Both stand well above Washington Elementary School, the lowest-scoring school with results: 57% in ELA and 42% in math. The gap between the leaders and Washington is 31 points in ELA and 33 points in math. In elementary Grade 5 math, the difference is wider still: Glen Grove’s 77% compares with Washington’s 33%, a 44-point spread. Glen Grove also leads Grade 5 ELA and science, while Avoca West has the top Grade 4 ELA result.
Recent trends are mixed: across the same six schools, average ELA rose 1 point from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while average math fell 2 points; state averages rose 3 and 1 points, respectively. Washington is a notable exception in ELA, improving 8 points, though its math declined 5 points. SchoolDigger ranks Glen Grove and Avoca West at the 95th percentile statewide; its three-year rankings also show declines for Pleasant Ridge, Springman and Washington. Contextual measures do not form a simple pattern with scores: for 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible was 30% at Glen Grove, 26% at Hoffman and 18% at Pleasant Ridge, while student-teacher ratios were 10.9, 11.4 and 13.9, respectively.
