Summary:
The 60438 zip code area is home to 8 schools across 3 different school districts: Lansing School District 158, Sunnybrook School District 171, and Thornton Fractional Township HSD 215. The schools include 5 elementary, 2 middle, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Among the standout schools in the area, Reavis Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to other elementary schools. Heritage Middle School also stands out with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and a higher 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. As the only high school in the data set, Thornton Fractnl So High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89%, despite lower proficiency rates compared to state averages.
However, the data also reveals significant challenges facing the schools in this area. All schools have chronic absenteeism rates well above the state average, and most have very high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. While there is variation in school performance, the overall academic achievement across the schools is low, with large gaps in proficiency rates compared to state standards. These systemic issues suggest the need for targeted resources and support to address the unique needs of the student population in this community.
