Summary:
The 60534 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (J W Robinson Junior Elementary School and Costello School) and 1 middle school (Washington Middle School) - all part of the Lyons School District 103. While the schools face some common challenges, such as high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients and chronic absenteeism, the data reveals notable differences in their academic performance and resources.
Costello School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts (48%) and Mathematics (25.2%) among the 3 schools. It also has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 8.7, suggesting a more favorable learning environment. J W Robinson Junior Elementary School also performs well, with the highest ELA proficiency rate (45.5%) among the elementary schools and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5. In contrast, Washington Middle School lags behind, with the lowest proficiency rates in both ELA (35.7%) and Mathematics (17.7%).
The data also highlights the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the district, with all three schools serving a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (ranging from 75.11% to 83.87%) and dealing with chronic absenteeism rates above the state average. These factors likely contribute to the lower-than-state-average proficiency rates observed across the schools, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population.
