Summary:

The 60120 zip code in Illinois is home to a single high school, Elgin High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Elgin High School appears to be a struggling school, ranking 518 out of 698 Illinois high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elgin High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on standardized tests falling well below the district and state averages in English Language Arts (33.7%), Math (19.6%), and Science (31.2%) for 11th-grade students. The school's four-year graduation rate of 89.0% and dropout rate of 2.4% for the 2024-2025 school year also suggest room for improvement. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% may be contributing to the low academic outcomes.

The data indicates that Elgin High School serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, with 54.26% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's spending per student of $16,290 for the same year and a student-teacher ratio of 16.7 to 1 suggest that the school may be facing resource challenges. Overall, the available information suggests that School District U-46 and the local community may need to focus on providing additional support and interventions to help Elgin High School improve its academic performance and student outcomes.
