Summary:
ZIP code 60160 has four public schools across Maywood-Melrose Park-Broadview 89 and Bellwood School District 88: three elementary schools serving through grade 5 and one middle school serving grades 6–8. In 2025–26, the unweighted average of the four schools was 15 percentage points below the state in ELA and 13 points below in math. Results vary substantially by school, and the clearest overall standout is Jane Addams Elementary School.
Jane Addams led the schools in all-grades ELA, at 52%, and math, at 45%; it was also above the state in math, while the other three schools were below. Its lead appears in grade-matched elementary results too: in grade 5 ELA, its 72% was 27 points above the next-highest school. The lowest results depend on the subject: Melrose Park Elementary School had the lowest all-grades ELA, at 32%, while Stevenson Middle School had the lowest math, at 18%. Grant Elementary School was mixed, with 33% in ELA and 25% in math; its grade 5 science result, 42%, was below only Jane’s among the elementary schools.
From 2024–25 to 2025–26, the four-school average fell by 4 points in ELA and 3 in math, even as state results rose by 3 and 1 point, respectively. Grant was the exception, improving by 2 points in ELA and 4 in math; the other schools declined in both. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentiles were highest for Jane at 45 and lowest for Melrose at 10, and all four were lower than in 2023–24. Other context does not produce a simple pattern: Stevenson had the lowest student–teacher ratio, 10.4, but the lowest all-grades math result. For 2024–25, the free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 46% at Jane, 55% at Melrose, and 63% at Stevenson; at Grant, all students receive free meals (Community Eligibility). These measures are not directly comparable.
