Summary:
The 60047 zip code area is home to 7 high-performing elementary schools across two school districts - Lake Zurich CUSD 95 and Kildeer Countryside CCSD 96. These schools consistently rank among the top elementary institutions in Illinois, with standout performers like Spencer Loomis Elementary School and Seth Paine Elementary School leading the way.
The schools in this area generally have excellent test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well above the state averages. For instance, Spencer Loomis Elementary boasts an 88.2% ELA proficiency rate and 78% in Mathematics, while Kildeer Countryside Elementary achieves an 80.2% ELA proficiency and 81.6% in Math. However, the data also reveals a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.
While the overall performance of these elementary schools is impressive, there is some variation in outcomes within the same school district. For example, May Whitney Elementary has slightly lower test scores compared to other Lake Zurich CUSD 95 schools. Additionally, the data suggests that funding is not the sole driver of academic achievement, as the school with the lowest per-student spending, Sarah Adams Elementary, still performs well above state averages.
