Summary:
The 60084 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Wauconda CUSD 118 district. While the schools exhibit varying levels of performance, a few standouts emerge, including Robert Crown School, an elementary school that consistently ranks in the top half of Illinois elementary schools and outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts.
Wauconda High School also stands out, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois high schools with above-average graduation rates, low dropout rates, and solid test scores, particularly in science and English. In contrast, Wauconda Grade School, the other elementary school, has more modest performance, with lower test scores and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Across the district, the schools exhibit a range of spending per student, from $17,506 at Wauconda High School to $23,623 at Wauconda Grade School. However, the relationship between spending and performance is not always clear, as the high-performing Robert Crown School has relatively lower spending than Wauconda Grade School. Additionally, all the schools in the area face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, an issue that may require targeted interventions to improve student attendance and engagement.
