Summary:
The 60417 zip code area in Illinois is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Crete Monee CUSD 201U district. While the schools face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and high poverty levels, a few standout schools and metrics are worth noting.
Crete Elementary School stands out with the highest English Language Arts proficiency rate at 39.1% and a relatively strong 5th grade science proficiency of 20.3%. Meanwhile, Crete-Monee High School has a higher-than-average 4-year graduation rate of 89.0%. However, all schools in the area struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%, which likely contributes to the overall low academic performance across the district.
The schools in this zip code area serve a predominantly low-income population, with 98.7% to 99.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty level is reflected in the wide range of per-student spending, from $17,572 to $32,443, suggesting potential funding disparities that could impact the resources and support available to students. Despite these challenges, the data highlights opportunities for improvement, such as identifying and replicating successful practices from the stronger-performing schools in the area.
