Summary:

Seven schools serve zip code 60139: five elementary schools and two middle schools, with 3,498 students across [Queen Bee School District 16](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/IL/district/32970/search.aspx) and [Marquardt School District 15](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/IL/district/24780/search.aspx). The most important finding is how much results can differ between schools serving the same grade: third-grade ELA scores range from 28% at [G Stanley Hall Elementary School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/IL/schools/2478002687/school.aspx) to 68% at [Americana Elementary School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/IL/schools/3297003413/school.aspx), a 40-point spread.

[Americana Elementary School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/IL/schools/3297003413/school.aspx) stands out among elementary schools: its third graders scored 68% in ELA and 62% in math, respectively 20 and 12 points above state results. At the lower end, [G Stanley Hall Elementary School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/IL/schools/2478002687/school.aspx) and [Black Hawk Elementary School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/IL/schools/2478002686/school.aspx) had the lowest third-grade ELA scores, 28% and 29%; Hall’s third-grade math score was 32%, 17 points below the state. For middle schools, [Glenside Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/IL/schools/3297003415/school.aspx) led [Marquardt Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/IL/schools/2478002688/school.aspx) in ELA by 10 points in grade 6, 15 in grade 7, and 13 in grade 8. Glenside also had the stronger grade-eight science result: 51%, compared with 43% at Marquardt.

All-grade averages improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, but the area did not close its gap with the state in ELA: the school average rose from 48% to 51%, while the state rose from 53% to 56%, and the average gap widened from 5 to 6 points below. In math, the school average increased from 33% to 35%, and the gap narrowed from 6 to 4 points below the state. SchoolDigger’s latest rankings place Americana at the 58th percentile with 3 stars and Black Hawk at the 15th percentile with 1 star. Similar school context does not guarantee similar results: Americana and [Glen Hill Elementary School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/IL/schools/3297006136/school.aspx) had close 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares (55% and 53%) and student-teacher ratios (12.2 and 12.1), yet Americana’s 2025–2026 all-grade scores were 7 points higher in ELA and 4 points higher in math. These measures provide context, not an explanation for score differences.
