Summary:
The 60431 zip code area is home to 5 elementary schools serving grades K-5, with a mix of performance levels and student demographics. While some schools like Troy Craughwell School and Jones Elementary School stand out with higher proficiency rates and stronger overall ratings, other schools in the area, such as Grand Prairie Elementary School and Troy Heritage Trail School, continue to struggle with low proficiency levels, particularly in mathematics.
The data reveals a wide range of academic performance across the schools, with Troy Craughwell School ranking the highest among the 5 schools and achieving the best proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Grand Prairie Elementary School had the lowest proficiency rates, with only 16.7% of students meeting standards in both subjects. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with all schools reporting rates higher than the state average.
While per-student spending varies across the schools, there does not appear to be a clear correlation between funding and academic performance. The disparities in performance within the same districts, such as Plainfield School District 202 and Troy CCSD 30C, suggest that school-level factors may play a significant role in student outcomes. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by the lower-performing schools in the 60431 zip code area.
