Summary:

The 60459 zip code in Illinois has only one middle school, Liberty Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8. The school is part of the Burbank School District 111, which is ranked 583 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Liberty Junior High School has consistently underperformed compared to district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. The school's 2024-2025 ELA proficiency rate was 39.2%, compared to the district's 44.2% and the state's 53.1%, while its Mathematics proficiency rate was 19.1%, compared to the district's 26.4% and the state's 38.5%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is quite high, indicating a potential issue with student engagement and attendance that could be impacting academic performance.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($14,717) and low student-teacher ratio (15:1), these resources do not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. The school's leadership and the Burbank School District 111 may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.
