Summary:
Two Chicago high schools serving grades 9–12 are listed in zip code 60602: Noble St Charter–Muchin College Prep and YCCS–Innovations of Arts Integr Integr High School, both in Chicago Public Schools District 299. The clearest overall distinction is that Muchin has stronger reported test and graduation results, while attendance is a serious concern at both schools.
Muchin stands out at the top on the six tests both schools reported for 2024–2025: it led YCCS by 11 to 38 percentage points, though Muchin’s scores were still below state results in every test. Muchin also had a higher 2025–2026 graduation rate, 92% versus 53%, and a lower dropout rate, 1% versus 17%. YCCS’s 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism was especially high at 97%, compared with 53% at Muchin and 24% statewide; even Muchin’s rate was well above the state figure.
Muchin’s matched test results improved overall: its average across six tests rose from 27% in 2024–2025 to 31% in 2025–2026, with four scores increasing and two decreasing, and its average gap to the state narrowed by 5 points. Math remains its weakest relative subject, with an average state gap of 22 points in 2025–2026, compared with 15 points in English and 12 in science. SchoolDigger ranked Muchin at the 22nd percentile in 2025–2026, while YCCS was at the 2nd percentile in 2024–2025. In 2024–2025, Muchin’s student–teacher ratio was 18, compared with 32.6 at YCCS; both reported free/reduced lunch eligible for that school year, at 73% and 89%, respectively. YCCS’s 2025–2026 test scores are suppressed, so they cannot be compared with Muchin’s that year.
