Summary:

The 60135 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Genoa Kingston CUSD 424 district. While the high school and middle school show stronger academic performance, the elementary school lags behind in several key areas.

Genoa-Kingston High School stands out as the top performer, ranking in the top third of Illinois high schools and boasting a 89.0% graduation rate. The school outperforms the district and state averages in several test score categories, including PreACT Secure English Language Arts and Science. In contrast, Genoa Elementary School struggles to meet the district and state averages in IAR English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Across the district, chronic absenteeism is a concern, with all three schools reporting rates over 25% for the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, there are significant funding disparities, with Genoa-Kingston High School receiving the highest per-student spending at $15,825, compared to $12,936 at Genoa Elementary School. Addressing these challenges, particularly at the elementary level, could help to improve overall academic performance across the district.
