Summary:
The 60433 zip code area in Illinois is home to 6 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. These schools are a mix of public institutions from the Joliet Public School District 86 and the Union School District 81, with enrollment ranging from 128 students at Union Elementary School to 470 students at Laraway School.
The standout school in this set is Eisenhower Academy, which is ranked 17th out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Eisenhower Academy boasts exceptional academic performance, with 94.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 87.1% proficient or better in Mathematics across all grades. Another high-performing school is Union Elementary School, which is ranked 407th out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, with 69.7% of students proficient or better in ELA and 60.7% proficient or better in Math.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in educational opportunities and resources within the same zip code area. While Eisenhower Academy and Union Elementary have impressive academic results, schools like Edna Keith Elementary School and Woodland Elementary School struggle, with only 12.4% of students proficient or better in ELA and Math. Additionally, all 6 schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average, and the wide range in per-student spending, from $17,176 to $40,329, raises questions about the allocation of resources and the potential impact on student learning.
