Summary:

ZIP code 60126 has 13 schools spanning pre-K through high school: nine elementary schools, three middle schools and one high school, across two districts. The 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 results show strong averages overall, but school-to-school differences are important: tested elementary schools averaged 78% in ELA and 74% in math, compared with state results of 56% and 40%.

Jefferson Elementary led full-grade elementary schools in All Grades ELA and math, at 86% and 88%; those results were 8 and 14 points above the elementary averages. At the middle-school level, Bryan Middle led with 90% in ELA and 78% in math, 5 and 8 points above the middle-school averages. At the lower end, Conrad Fischer Elementary had the lowest elementary results, including 55% in ELA—2 points below the state—and 49% in math. Churchville Middle was lowest among middle schools, at 77% in ELA and 54% in math, but both results remained above state levels.

Recent trends favor the middle schools: their average results rose 7 points in ELA and 8 in math from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and all three improved in both subjects. Elementary averages slipped by 1 point in ELA and 2 in math, although Conrad Fischer improved 5 points in ELA and Jefferson gained 5 in math. SchoolDigger ranked Bryan in the 97th percentile of Illinois middle schools and Conrad Fischer in the 51st percentile of elementary schools in 2025–2026.
