Summary:
The 60425 zip code area in Illinois is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, but no high schools or alternative schools. The data reveals a concerning pattern of underperformance across these schools, with most of them scoring well below the state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics.
Among the standout schools, Brookwood Junior High School has the highest overall performance in ELA, with 50.7% of students proficient or better, compared to the district average of 34.9% and the state average of 53.1%. However, the school struggles in mathematics, with only 11.9% of students proficient or better. In contrast, Hickory Bend Elementary School has the highest overall performance in mathematics, with 24.8% of students proficient or better, but its ELA performance is on par with the district average.
The schools in the 60425 zip code area face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (25.4% across all schools), low test scores, and high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients (ranging from 62.14% to 62.96%), indicating a predominantly low-income student population. While the schools spend between $19,023 and $20,675 per student, which is higher than the state average, this may not be sufficient to address the complex issues they face. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of each Brookwood School District 167 community.
