Summary:
ZIP code 60422 includes five schools: three elementary schools, one junior high, and one high school. Across the three elementary schools, average proficiency is above state rates in both ELA and math, but results vary substantially from school to school. The most important distinction is that Homewood-Flossmoor High School, Parker Junior High School, and the elementary schools show different strengths, while Heather Hill Elementary School trails its two elementary peers by 23 points in ELA and 15 points in math.
Western Avenue Elementary School leads elementary ELA at 70%, 14 points above the state rate; Flossmoor Hills Elementary School leads math at 54%, 14 points above the state, and is close behind Western in ELA at 69%. Heather Hill is at 48% in ELA and 38% in math, below state rates of 56% and 40%. Parker’s results split by subject: ELA is 60%, 4 points above the state, while math is 27%, 12 points below. At Homewood-Flossmoor, 11th-grade ACT proficiency is below state rates by 7 points in ELA, 7 in math, and 6 in science.
Elementary results remain above state averages overall, but that advantage narrowed from 10 to 6 points in ELA and from 10 to 8 points in math between 2024–25 and 2025–26. Fifth-grade math is a shared weakness: all three elementary schools scored below the state’s 36% rate.

As context, the elementary schools’ free/reduced lunch eligible shares for sy 2024–25 were 39% at Western Avenue, 61% at Flossmoor Hills, and 58% at Heather Hill; their student-teacher ratios were 15.9, 13.8, and 13.4, respectively, and these characteristics do not sort the schools into the same performance order.
