Summary:
The 60585 zip code area is home to three middle schools: John F Kennedy Middle School, Heritage Grove Middle School, and Murphy Junior High School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the Plainfield School District 202 and CUSD 308.
Based on the data, Heritage Grove Middle School stands out as the top-performing school in the area, consistently ranking among the top 25% of Illinois middle schools. It has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, John F Kennedy Middle School and Murphy Junior High School, while still performing above the state average, lag behind Heritage Grove in several key metrics, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
The data analysis reveals that all three schools have similar chronic absenteeism rates, around 25.4%, which suggests attendance and engagement may be an area of concern. Additionally, the variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios among the schools may provide insights into the allocation of resources and their potential impact on student outcomes. The differences in free/reduced lunch rates could also be a factor in the schools' performance, reflecting the socioeconomic diversity within the 60585 zip code area.
