Summary:
The 60155 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Roosevelt Elementary School and Lindop Elementary School. Both schools serve high-poverty populations, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Of the two schools, Lindop Elementary appears to be the standout performer. Lindop has higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to Roosevelt Elementary and the district/state averages. Lindop's performance has also been more consistent over the past few years, maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger compared to Roosevelt's more volatile 2-3 star ratings. This may be partly attributed to Lindop's significantly higher per-student spending ($31,986) compared to Roosevelt ($20,342).
However, both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% in 2024-2025, well above the state average. Additionally, Roosevelt had lower proficiency rates than the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across grade levels, while Lindop struggled more in Mathematics, especially in the upper grades. Addressing these academic gaps and improving attendance will be critical for supporting student success at these schools serving high-need populations.
