Summary:
Four elementary schools in ZIP code 60631 serve grades 3–8; two also offer pre-K, while the other two begin at kindergarten. In 2025–2026, their average proficiency was 75% in English language arts (ELA) and 54% in math, respectively 19 and 14 percentage points above state averages. The key takeaway is that all four schools outperform the state overall, but results can vary sharply by grade.
Edison Park Elementary School led in all-grades results, with 77% proficient in ELA and 56% in math. Its ELA result was 1 point above the next-highest school, Norwood Park Elementary School at 76%; its math result was 3 points above Onahan Elementary School at 53%. Grade-level results tell a more mixed story: Onahan led eighth-grade ELA at 94%, 31 points above the state, but had the group’s lowest third-grade ELA and math, both below state averages. Norwood Park led sixth-grade ELA and math, yet its eighth-grade math was 31%, below the state’s 35%. Ebinger Elementary School stood out in fifth-grade ELA (87%) and science (79%).
ELA improved at all four schools from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: the group average rose 5 points, compared with a 3-point state increase. Math gains were less consistent: the group average rose 2 points, but Ebinger fell 6 while the other schools gained 3 to 7 points. SchoolDigger gave Ebinger and Norwood Park four stars and a 77th-percentile ranking; Edison Park earned three stars at the 70th percentile, and Onahan three stars at the 64th. Edison Park also had the lowest student-teacher ratio, 11.4. Free/reduced lunch eligible shares in 2024–2025 ranged from 13.1% to 31.4%; these figures provide context, not an explanation for school results.
