Summary:
The 60647 zip code area of Chicago is home to 14 schools, including 13 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299. While the district as a whole is ranked 698 out of 811 in Illinois and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few schools in the area stand out as performing better than the district and state averages.
Pulaski International School of Chicago and Brentano Elementary Math & Science Academy are both ranked in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. These schools significantly outperform the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Chase Elementary School also outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts proficiency and in some grade levels for Mathematics.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance and socioeconomic factors among the schools in the 60647 zip code area. All schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is much higher than the state average. Spending per student ranges widely, from $16,818 at Brentano Elementary to $30,393 at Yates Elementary, but this does not appear to directly correlate with academic performance. Addressing these disparities and supporting the lower-performing schools will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for all students in the community.
