Summary:
The 60033 zip code area is home to three elementary schools - Crosby Elementary School, Jefferson Elementary School, and Washington Elementary School - all part of the Harvard CUSD 50 district. These schools serve students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.
Among the three schools, Jefferson Elementary stands out as the highest performer, with the strongest academic results in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, all three schools struggle with low proficiency rates, well below state averages. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern, with rates nearly double the state average at both Crosby Elementary and Jefferson Elementary.
The overall performance of these schools, as well as the broader Harvard CUSD 50 district, suggests significant challenges that need to be addressed. Targeted interventions and support will be critical to improving academic outcomes and attendance for the students in this area.
