Summary:
The 60190 zip code in Illinois is home to a single middle school, Winfield Central School, which serves students in grades 5-8. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, it continues to perform well in certain academic areas, particularly in science proficiency.
Winfield Central School's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with the school scoring above the state average in English Language Arts but below the state average in Mathematics. However, the school's science proficiency rates are strong, with 65.8% of 5th graders and 45% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 40.6% and 45.4%, respectively. The school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (29.77% in 2023-2024) suggests a relatively affluent student population, which may contribute to the school's academic success.
Despite the decline in its statewide ranking, Winfield Central School appears to be well-resourced, with a high per-student spending of $21,621 in 2023-2024 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11:1. These factors likely play a role in the school's strong performance in certain subject areas. However, the school may need to focus on improving its Mathematics instruction and support for students in this subject area to ensure more consistent academic achievement across all subject areas.
