Summary:

Zip code 60035 has nine schools—six elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school—serving students from elementary grades through high school. In 2025–2026, the eight K–8 schools averaged 79% in all-grades English language arts (ELA) and 68% in math, compared with state results of 56% and 40%. The most important takeaway is that every K–8 school scored above the state in both subjects.

Braeside Elementary School leads the elementary schools, with 94% in ELA and 81% in math; it is 17 points above the other elementary schools’ average in ELA and 13 points above in math. At the low end, Red Oak Elementary School has the lowest ELA result at 71%, while Wayne Thomas Elementary School has the lowest math result at 63%. Among middle schools, Edgewood Middle School leads Northwood Middle School by 7 points in ELA and 16 in math. Ravinia Elementary School is a grade 5 standout, leading in math at 80% and science at 86%. Separately, Highland Park High School’s grade 11 ACT proficiency exceeds state results in ELA, math and science.

K–8 averages improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 4 points and math 2, while state results rose 3 points in ELA and 1 in math. Gains varied: Indian Trail Elementary School’s ELA result rose 11 points, while Red Oak’s fell 6. SchoolDigger ranks Braeside 71st of 1,737 elementary schools (96th percentile) and Edgewood 81st of 1,126 middle schools (93rd percentile); Wayne Thomas’s reported percentile fell from 96th in 2023–2024 to 79th in 2025–2026. Ratios range from 9.0 students per teacher at Sherwood Elementary School to 13.5 at Wayne Thomas, but the lowest ratio does not identify the top-scoring school. For additional context, four elementary schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible in 2021–2022, ranging from 1% at Ravinia to 20% at Wayne Thomas. These figures offer different perspectives, and no single measure describes every school.
