Summary:
Zip code 60438 has eight schools serving students from primary grades through high school: five elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school, with 5,375 students enrolled. Across the three K–5 schools with comparable all-grades results, 2025–2026 proficiency averaged 43% in ELA and 24% in math, compared with 56% and 40% statewide. The most important pattern is that the K–5 schools’ gaps from the state widened between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, especially in math.
Reavis Elementary School stands out among the K–5 schools: it had the highest 2025–2026 all-grades results, at 47% in ELA and 28% in math—about 6 and 7 points above the averages for Coolidge Elementary School and Oak Glen Elementary School. Still, Reavis was 9 points below the state in ELA and 11 points below in math. At Heritage Middle School, ELA is a strength—its 8th-grade result was 75%, 12 points above the state—while its all-grades math result was 12%, 27 points below. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings put all seven schools with ranking data in the bottom 35% of their groups: Heritage ranked highest, at the 35th percentile, and Nathan Hale Elementary School lowest, at the 5th percentile.
The elementary gap from the state increased from 9 to 13 points in ELA and from 11 to 16 points in math; across seven schools with ranking histories, SchoolDigger’s average percentile also fell from 36 in 2023–2024 to 19 in 2025–2026. There are exceptions: Heritage’s all-grades ELA rose from 53% to 58%, moving from slightly below the state to 2 points above it. Ratios range from 13.4 students per teacher at Reavis to 18.3 at Coolidge, but they do not by themselves explain school results. For 2024–2025, Reavis, Coolidge and Oak Glen were listed as all students receive free meals (Community Eligibility); no percentage was reported. Other schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible: 66% at Thornton Fractnl So High School, 60% at Nathan Hale and 59% at Heritage. Since grade spans differ, families should compare results for the grades and subjects that matter to them.
