Summary:

The 60416 zip code in Illinois is home to a single standout middle school, Coal City Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Coal City CUSD 1 district. This school has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in Illinois, placing in the top 120 for the 2024-2025 school year and the top 96 for 2023-2024, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coal City Middle School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to both the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 82%, compared to 75.3% for the district and 53.1% for the state. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% for the 2024-2025 school year is relatively high, an area that may require further attention and intervention.

Despite serving a population with a 34.62% free and reduced-price lunch rate for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a significant number of students from low-income families, Coal City Middle School has maintained its academic excellence. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 13.5 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $16,217 for 2023-2024 may contribute to its strong performance and ability to support its diverse student population.
