Summary:
The 60087 zip code area is home to 6 elementary schools, a mix of public schools from the Waukegan CUSD 60 and Beach Park CCSD 3 districts, serving grades ranging from pre-K to 5th grade with student populations between 240 and 466 students.
Among the standout schools in the area, Little Fort Elementary School and H.R. McCall Elementary School have the strongest academic performance, with over 40% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. John S. Clark Elementary School also stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio and the highest spending per student. However, all schools in the area face challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates and a wide range of academic performance across the schools.
The data reveals stark differences in student outcomes, with the top-performing schools significantly outpacing the lower-performing ones. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the disparities. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at these schools indicate they are serving predominantly low-income communities, which can present unique challenges in terms of resources, support, and student needs.
