Summary:
The 60091 zip code area of Wilmette, Illinois is home to 4 high-performing elementary schools that are part of the Wilmette School District 39, which is ranked 23rd out of 811 school districts in the state. These schools consistently deliver excellent academic results, with several standouts that excel in key metrics.
Romona Elementary School and McKenzie Elementary School are the top performers in the area, with McKenzie ranking 14th out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and Romona ranking 20th out of 2,077 in recent years. Both schools maintain consistently high test scores, with proficiency rates well above state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
While the schools in this area generally excel, there is one area of concern: chronic absenteeism rates. All 4 elementary schools in the 60091 zip code have a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average. The district may need to investigate the underlying causes and implement strategies to improve attendance across these high-performing schools. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between the top-performing schools suggests that resource allocation may play a role in their academic success.
