Summary:
ZIP code 60513 has four public schools—three elementary schools and one middle school—across four districts, with notable differences in their latest test results. In 2025–26, the four-school average was above the state average in both English language arts (ELA) and math, but that area-wide picture masks a wide school-to-school spread. The most important finding is that Hollywood Elementary led while Lincoln Elementary was lowest, with gaps of 45 percentage points in ELA and 44 points in math.
Hollywood was the clear all-grades leader, with 85% proficient in ELA and 70% in math; its math score was 30 points above the next-highest school, S E Gross Middle School. Lincoln had the lowest results, at 40% in ELA and 26% in math, while Congress Park Elementary School was next-lowest in both subjects. Strengths vary by grade: Gross had the highest eighth-grade science result, 78%, and led sixth-grade ELA; Congress Park led sixth-grade math by 10 points over Gross.
Recent changes were mixed: Hollywood gained 11 points in ELA but fell 4 in math, while Gross rose 6 points in math. Congress Park fell 6 points in ELA and 7 in math; Lincoln was nearly unchanged in ELA and gained 2 points in math. All four schools improved in science. The area’s average advantage over the state narrowed to 6 points in ELA and 4 in math. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings from 2023–24 to 2025–26 fell from 80 to 70 for Gross, 69 to 36 for Congress Park, and 39 to 21 for Lincoln, while Hollywood shifted from 96 to 94. Other context does not point to a simple explanation: Lincoln had the lowest student–teacher ratio, 9.1, but the lowest scores; Hollywood had the smallest enrollment, 114, and highest scores. Reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 16% for Hollywood, 41% for Congress Park, and 74% for Lincoln in 2024–25; Gross reported 17% in 2023–24.
