Summary:
The 60409 zip code area of Calumet City, Illinois is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. These schools face significant challenges, with low academic performance, high poverty levels, and chronic absenteeism concerns across the board.
While Carol Moseley Braun School stands out with the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, the other schools struggle to meet state averages. Lincoln Elementary School has the strongest 8th grade performance, but its overall proficiency rates are still below state levels. Chronic absenteeism is a major issue, with all schools reporting rates over 25%, well above the state average.
The data reveals that these schools serve a high-need student population, with most having over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Targeted interventions and support will be crucial to help these schools improve and provide their students with a high-quality education. Addressing the significant achievement gaps, variation in school performance, and chronic absenteeism concerns should be top priorities for the Lincoln Education Service District 156, Hoover-Schrum Memorial School District 157, Dolton School District 149, and Calumet City School District 155.
