Zip code 60484 has two schools in Crete Monee CUSD 201U: Coretta Scott King Magnet School in University Park, serving kindergarten through fifth grade, and Crete-Monee Middle School, serving grades six through eight. Their 2025–26 results show differences by subject and grade, rather than one school leading across the board. The biggest distinction is math: Coretta Scott King’s all-grades result is substantially stronger, while the middle school is much farther below the state.

Coretta Scott King stands out in all-grades math, with 31% proficient compared with 16% at Crete-Monee Middle—a 15-point difference. Both are below the state result, by 9 points and 24 points, respectively. ELA is a close contrast: the middle school leads with 42% versus 40%, but both are below the state, by 15 and 16 points. Grade-level results reveal notable exceptions: Coretta Scott King’s fifth graders are above the state in ELA (57% versus 55%) and science (51% versus 48%); its fourth-grade ELA result is much lower, at 29% versus 56%. The middle school’s eighth-grade science result is 41%, compared with 52% statewide.

Over time, the two-school average improved in math relative to the state, while ELA fell behind: average math proficiency rose from 21% in 2024–25 to 23% in 2025–26, and the gap to the state narrowed from 18 points to 16; average ELA moved from 42% to 41%, and its gap widened from 11 points to 15. Science results rose at both schools. SchoolDigger’s rankings declined across three years: from the 29th to the 13th percentile at the middle school, and from the 52nd to the 29th percentile at Coretta Scott King; both received one star in 2025–26. In 2024–25, the schools’ student-teacher ratios were 10.6 and 13.3, and free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 65% and 53%, respectively. These schools serve different grade spans, so their all-grades results are not fully like-for-like.
