Summary:
The 60090 zip code is home to a single public high school, Wheeling High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Township HSD 214 district. While Wheeling High School has a relatively strong 89.0% four-year graduation rate, its academic performance as measured by standardized test scores lags behind both the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.
Wheeling High School's test proficiency rates range from 33.6% in Math to 48.5% in ELA, compared to district averages of 52.8% and 65.8%, respectively. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%. However, the school spends a relatively high $26,823 per student and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 15.1 to 1, suggesting the district is allocating resources to support student learning.
Overall, Wheeling High School appears to have room for improvement in academic achievement, particularly in Math and Science, despite its strong graduation rate. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to address the school's lower-than-average test scores and high chronic absenteeism. As the sole high school serving the 60090 zip code, Wheeling High School's performance is crucial for the educational outcomes of students in this community.
