Summary:
The 60162 high-school list contains one school, Proviso West High School, serving grades 9–12 with 1,870 students. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were below both Proviso Township HSD 209 and Illinois in all nine reported subject-and-grade comparisons. Its average gap from the state was 33 percentage points in English language arts, 32 in mathematics and 34 in science. The closest result was Grade 11 ACT mathematics, 31 points below the state; the widest was Grade 10 science, 38 points below. The most important finding is that low proficiency is a broad concern across the school’s reported subjects and grades.
There is no other listed high school to rank above or below Proviso West High School, so the clearest comparisons are with district and state outcomes. Graduation was 82%, compared with 86% in the district and 90% statewide. Dropout rates were 2.9% at the school, 2.6% in the district and 2.3% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is a particularly notable concern: 48% of students were chronically absent, versus 43% districtwide and 24% statewide. Together, these figures show graduation below both comparison rates and absenteeism above them, especially compared with the state.
