Summary:
The 60502 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, which are part of two different school districts - Indian Prairie CUSD 204 and Aurora East Unified School District 131. While the schools in the Indian Prairie CUSD 204 district generally perform well above the state averages, the one school in the Aurora East Unified School District 131, C.I. Johnson Elementary, lags significantly behind.
Metea Valley High School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 60 high schools in Illinois and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has strong academic performance, with over 70% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and over 60% proficient or better in Mathematics and Science. Another standout school is Gwendolyn Brooks Elementary, which has been ranked among the top 200 elementary schools in Illinois and also has a 5-star rating.
However, the data also reveals some areas of concern, such as the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% across all the schools and potential equity issues, as the higher rates of free/reduced lunch recipients and lower academic performance at C.I. Johnson Elementary suggest that this school serves a more economically disadvantaged population compared to the other schools in the data set. Overall, the 60502 zip code area offers a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools, highlighting the need for further analysis and targeted interventions to address the identified challenges.
