Summary:

There is one middle school located in the 60154 zip code - Westchester Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Westchester School District 92-5. This middle school appears to be a relatively strong-performing institution, consistently outperforming district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2024-2025 school year.

Westchester Middle School's ELA proficiency rates have ranged from 61.6% to 68.8% for different grade levels in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district and state averages. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates, while lower than ELA, are still on par with or slightly above the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's 8th grade science proficiency rate of 59.8% in 2024-2025 is notably higher than the state average of 45.4%.

While the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (47.18% in 2023-2024), indicating potential socioeconomic challenges, its academic performance suggests it is effectively supporting these students. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025 is an area that could benefit from improvement to enhance student engagement and attendance.
