Summary:
The 60461 zip code in Illinois is home to a single elementary school, Arcadia Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, its academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math lower than both the district and state averages over the past two school years.
Arcadia Elementary School's ELA and Math proficiency rates in the 2024-2025 school year were 45.8% and 37.6%, respectively, compared to the Matteson Education Service District 162 averages of 45.1% in ELA and 27.6% in Math, and the state-wide averages of 53.1% in ELA and 38.5% in Math. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average and can contribute to lower academic performance.
Despite these academic challenges, Arcadia Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8 and higher per-student spending of $19,974 compared to the state average. However, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with 49.44% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and explore additional strategies to support student learning and engagement.
