Summary:
The 60443 zip code area is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade: Matteson Elementary School, Woodgate Elementary School, Marya Yates Elementary School, and Sieden Prairie Elementary School. These schools fall under the Matteson Education Service District 162 and Education Service District 159.
Among the 4 schools, Woodgate Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with the highest overall test scores in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. Woodgate also has the strongest 3rd grade test scores, exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, Matteson Elementary School has the lowest test scores despite having the lowest student-teacher ratio and chronic absenteeism rate among the 4 schools.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools and the district/state averages in both ELA and Math. For example, Sieden Prairie Elementary School has only 10.7% of students proficient or better in Math, compared to the district average of 14.6% and the state average of 38.5%. This variability in scores suggests the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the wide disparities in academic achievement among these elementary schools.
