Summary:

Zip code 60411 has 15 elementary schools serving pre-K through grade 8; test results were supplied for 13. On average, the schools scored below the state in both subjects in 2025–2026: 42% in ELA versus 56% statewide, and 31% in math versus 40%. Yet school results span 48 points in ELA and 40 points in math, making the biggest takeaway that performance varies sharply from school to school, even as the area average trails the state.

U S Grant Elementary leads all-grades ELA at 68%, just 1 point ahead of Greenbriar Elementary School at 67%; U S Grant ties Kennedy Elementary School for the math high at 47%. Greenbriar also stands out in grade-level comparisons, including grade 5 science at 73%, 26 points above the state and well ahead of the next reported result, Garfield Elementary School at 47%. At the lower end, Medgar Evers Primary Academic Center has the lowest reported ELA result at 20%; Strassburg Elementary is lowest in math at 7% and has the next-lowest ELA result at 22%.

Average results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, but the state improved faster: ELA rose 2 points for the same 13 schools versus 3 points statewide, widening the average gap from 13 to 14 points. Math rose 0.6 points versus 1.1 statewide, and its gap widened from 8.7 to 9.1 points. SchoolDigger statewide percentile rankings also show varied paths: Greenbriar rose from 51 to 77 and Wilson Elementary School from 26 to 56, while Serena Hills Elementary School fell from 54 to 27. Context measures do not neatly explain the score differences: in 2024–2025, U S Grant and Kennedy were 95% and 97% free/reduced lunch eligible, while Greenbriar reported “All students receive free meals” through Community Eligibility; these are different measures, not explanations of results.
