Summary:
The 60076 zip code area of Skokie, Illinois is home to 6 elementary schools spanning 3 different school districts - Skokie School District 73-5, East Prairie School District 73, and Skokie School District 68. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade, with most being traditional elementary schools covering grades K-5.
Among the standout schools in this area, East Prairie Elementary School has the highest overall performance, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools for the past 3 years with strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. Highland Elementary School has also seen significant improvement, moving from a 3-star to a 4-star rating and having the highest English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates in the 60076 zip code. As the largest school in the area, John Middleton Elementary School has maintained a consistent 4-star rating and above-average test scores compared to the state.
However, not all schools in the area are performing at the same level. Devonshire Elementary School and Dr. Bessie Rhodes-Global Studies lag behind their peers in test scores and overall performance, suggesting opportunities for improvement. Additionally, the wide range in free/reduced lunch rates across the schools indicates varying levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations, which may contribute to the performance differences observed.
