Summary:
The six elementary schools in ZIP code 60076 span four districts and grades PK–K through PK–8. Five have 2025–2026 IAR results; Elizabeth Meyer School has no test-score results in the supplied data. The clearest overall finding is a wide spread in reported outcomes: East Prairie Elementary School leads both subjects, while Dr Bessie Rhodes School Global Studies has the lowest reported results.
East Prairie stands out overall, with 81% proficient in ELA and 55% in math—about 25 and 15 percentage points above state results, respectively. Its ELA score was 14 points above the next-highest school, John Middleton Elementary School (67%). Math was closer: Highland Elementary School scored 54%, just 1 point below East Prairie overall, and led 5th-grade math with 60%, 14 points above East Prairie. Rhodes scored 31% in ELA and 23% in math, 34 and 27 points below the other four reporting schools’ respective averages. Devonshire Elementary School was the next-lowest, at 51% in ELA and 38% in math.
Recent averages moved closer to state results, though schools’ individual changes differed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the five-school ELA average rose from 57% to 58%, while math fell from 46% to 45%; the group’s lead over the state narrowed in both subjects. SchoolDigger statewide percentiles also show mixed movement: Devonshire fell from 59 to 38 between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, while Highland moved from 67 to 80 and then 62. School measures offer context, not an explanation for results: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students were 43% at East Prairie, 48% at Highland and 66% at Devonshire; student–teacher ratios were 10.2, 10.8 and 13.0, respectively. Because grade spans differ, all-grade comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.
