Summary:
The 60060 zip code area is home to 8 elementary schools spanning 4 different school districts, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools vary in size, from 76 to 712 students, they collectively showcase a range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Fremont Intermediate School excelling and others, such as West Oak Intermediate School, struggling to meet proficiency standards.
Fremont Intermediate School stands out as a top performer, ranking 352 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms district and state averages on IAR/ELA and IAR/Math assessments, with proficiency rates of 69% and 59.3%, respectively. In contrast, West Oak Intermediate School has lower proficiency rates of 35.5% in ELA and 30.1% in Math, highlighting the significant disparities in academic performance across the schools in this area.
The data also reveals potential correlations between funding and student outcomes. Schools with higher per-student spending, such as Diamond Lake School and Lincoln Elementary School, tend to have lower student-teacher ratios and better academic results. However, a concerning trend across all schools is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to address this issue.
