Summary:
The 60559 zip code area is home to four elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools, located within the Maercker School District 60 and CUSD 201, demonstrate a range of academic performance and resource allocation.
Two schools stand out as high-performing: J.T. Manning Elementary School and Maercker Elementary School. J.T. Manning is ranked 195 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and has a 5-star rating, significantly outperforming the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Maercker Elementary is ranked 316 out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, also performing above the state average in both subject areas.
The other two schools, C.E. Miller Elementary School and South School, have lower academic proficiency rates compared to the state and district averages. However, all four schools share a common challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. The data also reveals a potential correlation between higher per-student spending and better academic outcomes, though further analysis would be needed to establish a causal relationship.
