Western Avenue Elementary is the top performer in the area, ranking in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 3 years. It has strong test scores, with 67.9% of students proficient or better in ELA and 52.4% in math.

At the high school level, Homewood-Flossmoor High School has a strong 89.0% 4-year graduation rate and a low 2.4% dropout rate, though its ELA and math proficiency rates are slightly below the state averages.
