Summary:
The 60035 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the North Shore School District 112, which is ranked 101 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating.
Several schools in the area stand out as high-performers, including Highland Park High School, ranked 40th out of 698 Illinois high schools with a 5-star rating, and two elementary schools, Ravinia Elementary and Braeside Elementary, which are ranked 130th and 83rd out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools respectively, also with 5-star ratings. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with 68-82% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 67-80% in Mathematics.
While the schools in the 60035 zip code generally perform well above state averages, there is a significant gap in test scores between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the district. Additionally, the chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is higher than the state average, which could be an area for the district to address. However, the district's investment in education, with high spending per student and small class sizes, appears to be paying off in the form of strong academic performance overall.
