Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 60062 include 11 schools—six elementary, four middle, and one high school—with a combined enrollment of 6,532 students; 2025–26 test results are available for all but Hickory Point. Across the five elementary schools with scores, average proficiency was 85% in ELA and 85% in math, compared with state rates of 56% and 40%; the four middle schools averaged 88% and 79%, respectively, against the same state rates. The clearest area-wide finding is that every school with reported IAR scores exceeded state results in both subjects, with the largest average advantage in math.

Wescott Elementary School leads the elementary group, with 91% proficient in both ELA and math—35 and 51 percentage points above state results. Maple School and Wood Oaks Junior High School share the middle-school ELA lead at 91%; Maple leads middle-school math at 87%. At the lower end, Field School has the lowest middle-school results, at 81% in ELA and 68% in math, while Greenbriar Elementary School has the lowest elementary results, at 80% and 78%. Both schools nevertheless exceed state rates in each subject.

Recent changes vary by school: elementary ELA averages slipped about 1 percentage point from 2024–25 to 2025–26 while state results rose 3 points; elementary math averages rose 2 points. Westmoor Elementary School had a notable 10-point ELA decline, while Wescott gained 6 points in ELA and 4 in math. Westmoor’s all-grade result also hides a grade-level contrast: it led grade 4 ELA at 96%, but had the group’s lowest grade 5 ELA at 76%. SchoolDigger ranks Wescott 13th of 1,737 elementary schools and Maple 15th of 1,126 middle schools. As context, Field’s free/reduced lunch eligible share was 18%, compared with 1% to 5% at the other middle schools (sy 2021–2022); these figures do not explain score differences.
