Summary:
The 60107 zip code area is home to two middle schools: Tefft Middle School and Canton Middle School. Both schools have consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency over the past few years.
Tefft Middle School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (51.09%) compared to Canton Middle School (43.98%), suggesting that Tefft serves a more economically disadvantaged population. However, Tefft Middle School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.3, while Canton Middle School has a ratio of 16.2. Despite the higher per-student spending at Canton Middle School ($21,816) compared to Tefft Middle School ($16,660 per student), the performance of both schools remains below the School District U-46 and state averages.
The consistent underperformance of these middle schools in the 60107 zip code area highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the lower academic achievement, such as effective resource allocation and instructional practices. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the performance gaps and improve educational outcomes for students in these schools.
