Summary:

The 60714 zip code area is home to two middle schools - Gemini Middle School and Emerson Middle School. While both schools serve students in grades 6-8, they exhibit notable differences in their academic performance and school characteristics.

Emerson Middle School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top 10% of Illinois middle schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Gemini Middle School has a lower ranking, placing in the middle 40% of Illinois middle schools. This performance gap is evident in the schools' test scores, with Emerson Middle School significantly outperforming the state and its own district, Park Ridge CCSD 64, in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates.

While Gemini Middle School has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (64.62%) compared to Emerson Middle School, both schools have similar student-teacher ratios and per-student spending. Additionally, both schools share the same chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is an area of concern that may require targeted interventions to improve student attendance and engagement.
