Summary:
The 60453 zip code in Oak Lawn, Illinois is home to 12 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a wide range of academic performance across these schools, with some standouts like Kolmar Avenue Elementary School and Columbus Manor Elementary School ranking among the top 25% and 20% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively. In contrast, other schools such as J Covington Elementary and Ernest F Kolb Elementary struggle, with only around 40-50% of students meeting or exceeding academic standards.
The data also reveals significant variation in other key metrics across the schools. Graduation and dropout rates at the two high schools, Oak Lawn Community High School and H.L. Richards High School, are both strong at 89% and 2.4%, respectively. However, all schools in the area have a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, higher than the state average. Spending per student also varies widely, from $10,893 at Lawn Manor School to $24,791 at H.L. Richards High School.
Overall, the data suggests that while some schools in the 60453 zip code are performing exceptionally well, there is a significant gap in educational opportunities and outcomes for students in the area. Addressing these disparities and ensuring more equitable access to high-quality education for all students should be a priority for the local Oak Lawn CHSD 229, Chsd 218, Oak Lawn-Hometown School District 123, Ridgeland School District 122, and Atwood Heights School District 125.
