Summary:
The 60097 zip code is home to a single school, Harrison Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has an enrollment of 420 students. The school is part of the Harrison School District 36, which is ranked 665 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Harrison Elementary School faces significant challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is much higher than the state average. The school's academic performance is also a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science all falling well below state averages, particularly in the 8th grade. For example, only 16.3% of 8th-grade students are proficient in ELA, compared to 56.7% statewide, and just 25.6% are proficient in Mathematics, compared to 32.9% statewide.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it spends more per student than the state average, at $17,937 per student. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, which could be a positive factor, but does not appear to be translating into higher academic achievement. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 62.14%, suggests that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.
