Summary:
The 60406 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. While the schools serve a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic and African American students, they generally struggle with low academic proficiency, high chronic absenteeism, and high rates of economic disadvantage.
Among the standout schools in the area, Lincoln Elementary School stands out with the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd-grade students, while Everett F Kerr Middle School has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts across 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, as well as the highest 8th-grade science proficiency rate. However, the majority of schools in the 60406 zip code, including DD Eisenhower High School, perform significantly below the district and state averages in academic proficiency, with the high school also struggling with low graduation rates and high dropout rates.
The data suggests that the schools in the 60406 zip code face significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, economic disadvantage, and performance gaps compared to the district and state. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and implement effective interventions and support systems to help these schools and their students succeed.
