Summary:
ZIP code 60445 has seven schools—five elementary, one middle and one high school—serving grades K–12. Across the six schools reporting all-grades results, average 2025–2026 proficiency was 44% in ELA and 26% in math, about 13 percentage points below the state average in each subject.

The central finding is that most school-wide results remain below state averages, despite stronger results in some specific grades.
