Summary:
ZIP code 60491 has four elementary schools serving PK through grade four: Luther J Schilling School serves grades two through four, Reed Elementary School serves grades two and three, and William E Young School and Goodings Grove School serve PK through grade one. Together they enroll 1,739 students, with school enrollments ranging from 291 to 587. IAR results are available only for Schilling and Reed, so test-score comparisons do not cover all four schools. The clearest academic signal is that both reporting schools are above state proficiency rates in ELA and math, with their average math proficiency 25 points above the state.
The all-grade subject leader changes by school: Schilling has 67% proficiency in ELA, 3 points ahead of Reed at 64%, while Reed leads math with 66% compared with Schilling’s 63%, a 3-point gap. In their shared third-grade comparison, Schilling leads in both ELA, 66% to 64%, and math, 69% to 66%. Chronic absenteeism is consistently below the state rate across all four schools: rates range from 10% at Reed to 12% at Schilling, compared with 24% statewide. Reed has the lowest reported rate, while Schilling has the highest.
Recent trends are mixed rather than uniformly rising or falling. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, the two reporting schools’ average ELA proficiency fell by 1 point, while their average math proficiency rose by 3 points; that math change includes a 2-point drop at Schilling and an 8-point rise at Reed. SchoolDigger’s percentile rankings also differ: Schilling declined from 87 in 2023–24 to 78 in 2025–26, while Young gained 5 points from its earliest to latest listed year and Goodings Grove ended at the same rank where it began. Reported student–teacher ratios are 14.4 at Schilling and 10.7 at Reed, but the score comparisons do not show that ratios explain results.
