Summary:
The 60148 zip code in Illinois has only one middle school, Glenn Westlake Middle School, which is part of the Lombard School District 44. While the district is ranked 299 out of 811 in Illinois, Glenn Westlake Middle School has seen a slight decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 471 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools in 2024-2025 to 506 out of 1,367 in 2022-2023.
Academically, Glenn Westlake Middle School performs better in English Language Arts (ELA) than in Math, with proficiency rates above the state average in ELA but below the state average in Math. The school's science proficiency for 8th grade is above the state average. However, the school faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which could be a contributing factor to its declining statewide ranking.
Despite the district's investment in the school, with high spending per student ($19,648) and a low student-teacher ratio (13:1), the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be fully translating into improved student outcomes. The school also serves a population with a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (30.2%), which may have implications for the school's resources, support systems, and overall academic performance.
