Summary:
The 60164 zip code area is home to 6 elementary schools across two school districts - Mannheim School District 83 and Berkeley School District 87. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of academic programs and support services.
Among the standout schools in the area, Westdale Elementary School emerges as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts (62.3%), Math (39%), and Science (49.3%) for 5th graders. J.W. Riley Intermediate School also stands out, with strong overall performance and particularly high 3rd grade math proficiency at 54.4%.
However, the data also reveals some areas of concern across the schools, including high chronic absenteeism rates (25.4%) and significant performance gaps compared to state averages, particularly in math. Additionally, there appear to be disparities in academic achievement between the schools in the two different districts, suggesting that district-level factors may play a role in student outcomes. While funding levels vary, the data indicates that factors beyond just spending, such as instructional practices and school leadership, may be more important drivers of student success in this area.
