Best Public Schools in Zip Code 60472

Summary:

The 60472 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Childs Elementary School and Turner Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Kellar School), all of which serve a predominantly low-income student population within the Posen-Robbins Education Service District 143-5.

Among the standout schools, Childs Elementary School emerges as a high performer, with the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (57.1%) and Mathematics (62.9%) for the 2024-2025 school year, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. In contrast, Kellar School lags behind, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages in both subjects.

While Turner Elementary School has the highest per-student spending at $24,316, its academic performance is not as strong as Childs Elementary School, which has lower per-student spending. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as effective teaching, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a significant role in driving student success. Additionally, all three schools face high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%, which is an area of concern that requires attention.
