Summary:
The 60304 zip code area is home to three high-performing elementary schools: Irving Elementary School, Longfellow Elementary School, and Abraham Lincoln Elementary School. These schools, which serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade, have consistently demonstrated strong academic achievement and are part of the Oak Park Education Service District 97.
Among the three schools, Irving Elementary School stands out as the top performer, ranking 199 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year and earning a prestigious 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has consistently outperformed the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. Longfellow Elementary School has also maintained a strong academic record, consistently ranking among the top 400 elementary schools in Illinois and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While all three schools have demonstrated impressive academic achievements, they share a common challenge in addressing high chronic absenteeism rates, which stood at 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the schools have relatively low percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 16.67% to 18.67% in the 2023-2024 school year, and similar spending per student, ranging from $19,528 to $21,735 in the same year. These factors suggest a relatively equitable distribution of resources across the schools, which may contribute to their strong performance.
