Schools in Zip Code 60030

Zip code 60030 has 10 schools: six elementary, two middle and two high schools, serving students from the early grades through high school. Test results are available for nine schools; Woodland Primary School has no test-score figures in the supplied data. The clearest overall finding is that Prairie Crossing Charter School is the area’s most consistent standout in elementary and middle school results.

In 2025–26 “All Grades” results, Prairie Crossing led the seven elementary and middle schools with scores: 79% in ELA and 69% in math, ahead of the other six schools’ averages by 16 and 22 percentage points. At the other end, Woodland Elementary had the lowest ELA result at 38%, 32 points below the other six schools’ average; Frederick School had the lowest math result at 32%, 22 points below the other six schools’ average. Leaders vary by grade: Prairieview School led grade 3 and 4 ELA, while Woodview School led grade 3 math but scored 38% in grade 4 math, below the state’s 42%. At high school, Grayslake Central High School led Grayslake North High School on reported tests; the clearest exception was grade 9 PreACT math, 49% at Central versus 32% at North.

Elementary and middle school averages improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA rose 5 points, while math increased about 1 point. That progress was uneven: Grayslake Middle School’s ELA result rose 19 points, while Meadowview School’s math result fell 10 points. SchoolDigger ranks Prairie Crossing in the 85th percentile with four stars; Grayslake Middle’s percentile rose from 55 to 63 between 2023–24 and 2025–26, while North’s fell from 87 to 69. Other context does not follow a simple pattern: in 2024–25, Prairieview had 42% free/reduced lunch eligible and Woodview 35%, yet Prairieview’s results were higher; Woodview’s student-teacher ratio was 17.1, compared with 12.1 at Prairieview and Meadowview. These are observations, not explanations for score differences.
