Summary:

The zip code 60643 in Chicago, Illinois is home to 16 elementary schools that are part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 698 out of 811 districts in the state and has an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars. While the district faces significant challenges, a few schools in this area stand out as performing better than others.

Kellogg Elementary School is the top performer, ranked 594 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and rated 4 out of 5 stars. It has the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (69.9%) and Mathematics (44.9%) across all grades. Colemon J Elementary Academy and Barnard Elementary Comp Math & Sci Center also perform relatively well, ranking 1,106 and 1,280 respectively out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools.

However, many schools in the 60643 zip code struggle with low academic performance, with several having less than 20% of students proficient in Mathematics. Chronic absenteeism rates are also a major concern, with all schools exceeding the state average. Additionally, the majority of schools have very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage in the community. While the data reveals significant disparities, it also highlights pockets of success that provide hope and guidance for improving outcomes for all students in this area.
