Summary:
The 60432 zip code area of Joliet, Illinois is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the schools share similar demographics, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, their academic performance varies significantly.
The standout school in this group is Forest Park Individual Educational School, which consistently outperforms the other schools and district/state averages across key metrics like English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. In 2024-2025, 58.3% of Forest Park students were proficient in ELA compared to 29.9% for the Joliet PSD 86 district and 53.1% statewide. The school's strong science proficiency rates and 3-star SchoolDigger rating further highlight its academic success.
In contrast, Sator Sanchez Elementary School and A.O. Marshall Elementary School lag behind in most performance metrics, while Isaac Singleton Elementary School shows some brighter spots but still falls short of Forest Park's level of achievement. Across all schools, high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4% in 2024-2025, are a significant concern that likely impacts student learning.
