Summary:
The 60030 zip code area is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, spread across two school districts - Woodland CCSD 50 and Grayslake CCSD 46. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with standout institutions like Prairie Crossing Charter School, Meadowview School, and Woodview School leading the pack in academic achievement.
The top-performing schools in the area boast impressive proficiency rates, with Prairie Crossing Charter School reporting 73.6% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 63% in Mathematics. Meanwhile, the Grayslake CCSD 46 schools generally outperform the Woodland CCSD 50 schools, despite both districts being rated similarly by SchoolDigger. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level ratings may be at play in determining school performance.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern across all the schools, with rates well above the state average of 18.2% in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the significant variation in per-student spending, from $9,163 at Grayslake Early Childhood to $25,828 at Grayslake North High School, raises questions about the relationship between funding and student outcomes in this area.
