Summary:
The 60545 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Plano CUSD 88 district. While some schools, like Plano High School, show promising graduation rates, the majority of the schools in this area struggle with test scores, chronic absenteeism, and high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Plano High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 330 out of 697 Illinois high schools in 2023-2024 to 506 out of 699 in 2022-2023. Its 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% in 2024-2025 is a positive indicator, though its dropout rate of 2.4% and chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% are areas of concern. In contrast, Plano Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois middle schools, with a ranking of 792 out of 1,368 in 2024-2025, and its test scores, particularly in mathematics, are below the district and state averages.
Overall, the schools in the 60545 zip code generally perform below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.29% at Plano High School to 61.62% at Centennial Elementary School. This suggests a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance observed and highlights the need for targeted support and resources to address equity issues.
