Summary:

The 60089 zip code area in Illinois is home to 8 elementary schools spanning 3 different school districts - Aptakisic-Tripp CCSD 102, Wheeling CCSD 21, and Kildeer Countryside CCSD 96. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade, with enrollments ranging from 405 to 675 students.

Among the schools in this area, a few stand out as top performers. Meridian School (Aptakisic-Tripp CCSD 102) and Ivy Hall Elementary School (Kildeer Countryside CCSD 96) rank in the top 15% and 6% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively, with exceptional proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Similarly, Prairie Elementary School (Kildeer Countryside CCSD 96) is among the top 3% of Illinois elementary schools, with similarly impressive proficiency rates.

In contrast, some schools in the 60089 zip code area, such as Joyce Kilmer Elementary School and Henry W Longfellow Elementary School, demonstrate lower academic performance compared to the top-performing schools. This suggests significant disparities in educational quality and resources within the area. Additionally, the data reveals a potential correlation between higher spending per student and better academic outcomes, as well as the influence of district-level factors on school performance.
