Summary:
The 60102 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, spread across two school districts - Community Unit School District 300 (CUSD 300) and Huntley Community School District 158. The data reveals a diverse set of schools with a wide range of academic outcomes, with some standout performers like Harry D Jacobs High School and Westfield Community School consistently ranking in the top 25% of Illinois schools.
The top-performing schools demonstrate strong academic results, with Harry D Jacobs High School having 61.5% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 40.4% in Mathematics, as well as a low dropout rate of 2.4%. Westfield Community School and Conley Elementary School also stand out, with impressive English Language Arts proficiency rates of 60.3% and 73.3%, respectively.
However, the data also reveals significant variation in performance, even within the same school district. For example, in CUSD 300, Eastview Elementary had 75.2% proficient in English Language Arts, while Algonquin Lakes had only 60.8% proficient. Additionally, all schools reported high chronic absenteeism rates, which is a concerning trend that likely impacts student learning and achievement. The data also suggests potential equity issues, as the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower academic performance.
