Summary:
The 60046 zip code area is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade, with varying performance and student demographics. The standout school in the area is Oakland Elementary School, which has the highest statewide ranking, best test scores, and lowest chronic absenteeism rate among the schools in the zip code.
While Oakland Elementary excels, the other schools in the area show more mixed results. William L Thompson School has the second-highest test scores, but the remaining schools lag behind in both statewide rankings and academic performance. The significant differences in free/reduced lunch rates, from 27.04% at Oakland Elementary to 90.27% at Pleviak Elementary, suggest that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the disparities observed.
Across all 5 schools, the chronic absenteeism rate is consistently high at 25.4%, which is an area of concern that may require targeted interventions. Additionally, the per-student spending varies greatly, with Pleviak Elementary spending significantly more than the other schools in the zip code. Understanding how these resources are being utilized and their impact on student outcomes would be valuable for parents and the community.
