Schools in Zip Code 60659

ZIP code 60659 has six schools in Chicago Public Schools District 299: four elementary schools serving PK/K–8 and two high schools serving grades 9–12. The schools have distinct academic profiles: the elementary results range from well above to below state levels, while both high schools score below the state on the reported high-school tests. The clearest overall finding is that elementary outcomes vary widely, and high-school proficiency is consistently below state results.

Stone Elementary Scholastic Academy leads the elementary schools on all-grades results: 76% proficient in ELA and 53% in math in 2025–2026, respectively 20 and 13 points above the state. Jamieson Elementary School and Solomon Elementary School are also above the state in both subjects, with results of 64% ELA and 45% math at Jamieson, and 62% ELA and 47% math at Solomon. Clinton Elementary School is lowest, at 36% ELA and 30% math—20 and 10 points below the state. At the high schools, CICS - Northtown Campus edges Mather High School on ACT, but their results are close; Mather’s 67% chronic absenteeism is a sharper concern than that small test-score difference.

Over time, the four elementary schools’ average ELA result stayed near 60%, while the state improved, narrowing the schools’ average advantage from 7 points in 2024–2025 to 3 points in 2025–2026. Average math rose from 42% to 44%, and the advantage over the state edged up from 3 to 4 points. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings place Stone at the 67th percentile among elementary schools and Clinton at the 12th; rankings are a separate measure from the test results. The reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–2025 range from 49% at Solomon to 89% at Clinton, providing context but not an explanation for results. Grade-level results can differ from a school’s all-grades figures.
