Summary:
The 60188 zip code area of Carol Stream, Illinois is home to 7 elementary schools that serve students from various school districts, including CCSD 93, School District U-46, and Benjamin School District 25. These schools vary in size, with student enrollments ranging from 192 to 561 students.
Among the standout schools in the area are Spring Trail Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools and has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades. Evergreen Elementary School, part of the highly-ranked Benjamin School District 25, also has strong academic performance, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages in both ELA and Math. Additionally, Roy De Shane Elementary School, a smaller school within the CCSD 93 district, has impressive academic results, with the highest proficiency rates in ELA and the second-highest in Math among the schools in the data set.
However, the data also reveals significant variation in academic performance across the schools, with some institutions struggling to meet state and district averages. Additionally, all schools in the area have a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average. While the schools with the highest spending per student do not necessarily have the best academic outcomes, the schools with the lowest spending per student are among the top performers, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, school leadership, and community engagement, may be more influential in driving academic success. The wide range of performance across the schools presents an opportunity for collaboration and the sharing of best practices to help raise academic achievement across the district.
