The zip code 60444 contains a single middle school, Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 440 out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools in 2022-2023 to 760 out of 1,368 in 2024-2025.
Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Middle School's academic performance is mixed compared to state and district averages. While its English Language Arts proficiency rates are slightly below average, the school's mathematics proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state and district. However, the school's science proficiency rates are more promising, with the 5th grade matching the state average and the 8th grade exceeding it. The school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 38.89% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.
Despite the school's declining statewide ranking, it appears to have access to adequate resources, with a higher-than-average per-student spending of $16,403 in 2023-2024 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.8. However, the school's performance suggests that these resources may not be optimized or effectively utilized to drive student achievement. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions, informed by a deeper analysis of the school's data and context, could help address the school's challenges and support student success.
