Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 60459 include eight schools: six elementary schools serving kindergarten through grade 5, one junior high serving grades 6–8, and one high school serving grades 9–12. The elementary schools and junior high are in Burbank School District 111; the high school is in Reavis Township HSD 220. Comparisons are most useful within matching grade and subject groups. The most important finding is that results vary widely among elementary schools, especially in math and in some individual grades.
J B Kennedy Elementary School leads elementary all-grades ELA at 60%, about 4 percentage points above the state’s 56%; it ties Edward J Tobin Elementary School for top math at 46% each, versus 40% statewide. At the other end, Maddock Elementary School scores 44% in ELA and 20% in math. Grade-5 science leaders are Richard Byrd Elementary School at 47% and Harry E Fry School at 46%, both near but below the state’s 48%. Secondary results are below state levels too: Liberty Junior High School has 44% ELA and 25% math, while Reavis High School has 38% ELA, 25% math, and 35% science. Reavis’s 91% graduation rate is slightly above the state’s 90%.
Elementary averages rose from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but not evenly: ELA gained about 2 percentage points, math 1 point, and grade-5 science 9 points. Science improved most relative to the state, while the average ELA gap widened. SchoolDigger’s rankings fell for seven schools over three years; Kennedy was the exception, rising from the 48th to the 53rd percentile. All six elementary schools report the same measure, free/reduced lunch eligible, for 2024–25, ranging from 61% at Byrd to 71% at Maddock; this is context, not an explanation of results. Elementary student-teacher ratios range from 11.3 to 14.1, with no consistent pattern matching achievement.
