Summary:

The 60442 zip code in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Wilson Creek Elementary School and Anna McDonald Elementary School, both serving grades K-5 and part of the Manhattan School District 114.

Of the two schools, Anna McDonald Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools over the past three years. Its test scores exceed the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for all grades, as well as for specific grade levels. For the 2024-2025 school year, Anna McDonald's proficiency rates are 63.8% in ELA and 64.7% in Math, compared to the district's 76.4% in ELA and 57.3% in Math, and the state's 53.1% in ELA and 38.5% in Math. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rate for the 2023-2024 school year is an impressive 81.2%, significantly higher than the district's 79% and the state's 53.2%.

While both schools have a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average, the funding and resource allocation between the two schools differ. Wilson Creek Elementary School spends $12,277 per student, while Anna McDonald Elementary School spends $10,304 per student for the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that there may be inequities in how resources are distributed across the district, which could impact student outcomes and the overall quality of education provided.
