Summary:
The 60118 zip code area in Illinois is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 2 middle schools. While the data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools, a few standout institutions emerge. Sleepy Hollow Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools, significantly outperforming the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, Carpentersville Middle School struggles, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.
Another high-performing school in the area is Dundee Middle School, which performs well above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, and maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, such as Carpentersville Middle and Parkview Elementary School, tending to have lower proficiency rates.
Across the district, the chronic absenteeism rate is significantly higher than the state average, indicating a need to address the root causes of this issue. While Sleepy Hollow Elementary School has the highest spending per student, this does not necessarily translate to the highest performance across all schools, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality and school leadership, play a crucial role in driving student success.
