Summary:
The 60482 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Worth Elementary School and Worthwoods Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Worth Junior High School) - all part of the Worth School District 127.
Among the three schools, Worth Junior High School stands out as the top performer, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, the two elementary schools, Worth Elementary and Worthwoods Elementary, have lower rankings and test scores, both earning 2-star ratings. All three schools, however, face high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%, which may be contributing to the academic challenges at the elementary level.
The data also reveals that the schools in this area are relatively well-funded, with spending per student ranging from $16,256 at Worthwoods Elementary to $17,986 at Worth Junior High School, higher than the state average. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios are generally favorable, ranging from 11.2 at Worth Junior High School to 14.8 at Worthwoods Elementary. However, the academic outcomes do not yet fully reflect the level of investment, particularly at the elementary level, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to address the performance gap and attendance issues.
