Summary:

The 10 elementary schools located in zip code 60827 serve a diverse student population across several school districts, including Chicago Public Schools District 299, Calumet Public School District 132, Dolton School District 148, and Gen George Patton School District 133. While the schools vary in their academic performance, a few stand out as top performers, including Park Elementary School, Aldridge Elementary School, and Riverdale School.

Park Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels, as well as the highest 5th grade science proficiency. Aldridge Elementary School also performed well, with the highest English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates in the upper grades. Additionally, Riverdale School had strong proficiency rates in the early elementary grades.

However, the data also reveals significant challenges facing the schools in this area, including high chronic absenteeism rates, very high free/reduced lunch rates, and large achievement gaps compared to district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics. The schools with the highest per-student spending tended to have the strongest academic performance, suggesting a link between funding and student outcomes. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and investments may be crucial to improving educational opportunities for students in this zip code.
