However, the majority of schools in the 60651 zip code struggle, with all schools having a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, significantly higher than the state average, and generally performing well below state and district averages on standardized tests.
The schools in this area serve a high-need population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 85.41% at Casals Elementary School to 99.14% at Noble St Charter-Rowe-Clark Middle School Academy.
