Summary:

ZIP code 60641 includes 11 schools in Chicago Public Schools District 299: seven elementary schools and four high schools, including one serving grades 7–12. In 2025–26, elementary-school averages were 5 percentage points below the state in English language arts (ELA) and 4 points below in math; all three high schools with reported ACT results were also below state results. The most important finding is how widely results vary from school to school: elementary All Grades scores spanned 50 points in ELA and 46 points in math.

Disney II Elementary and Belding Elementary stand out at the top of the elementary comparison, while Barry Elementary is at the bottom. Disney II had the highest All Grades results, with 78% proficiency in ELA and 63% in math—22 and 24 points above state results. Belding scored 65% and 54%, beating the state by 9 and 14 points; it also led fifth-grade science at 65%, versus 48% statewide. Barry scored 28% in ELA and 17% in math, 28 and 23 points below the state. Among high schools with current ACT results, Intrinsic Charter High School led Schurz High School and Foreman High School in all three subjects, though its scores remained below state results. YCCS-Aspira Pantoja has suppressed 2025–26 ACT results.

Elementary averages improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA rose from 46% to 52%, and math from 32% to 35%; the average gaps to the state narrowed in both subjects. That progress was not universal: Disney II gained 8 points in ELA and 9 in math, while Barry fell 2 points in each. SchoolDigger’s ranking history is mixed: Disney II’s percentile rose from 71 to 84 between 2023–24 and 2025–26, while Falconer Elementary fell from 37 to 20. As context, the schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25 ranging from 29% at Disney II to 95% at Aspira; reported student–teacher ratios ranged from 12.6 to 15.0, with no ratio supplied for Disney II. These measures do not neatly predict results, so school-specific performance and priorities are worth weighing together.
