Summary:

The 60927 zip code is home to a single high school, Central High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has seen a decline in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 177th out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 to 319th out of 698 in 2024-2025.

Central High School's graduation rate of 89.0% in 2024-2025 is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.4% is slightly higher. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025 is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Central High School's proficiency rates in ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science are all below the state averages, and its SAT/Mathematics and SAT/English Language Arts proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the state averages.

Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $15,532 in 2023-2024, it continues to underperform compared to the state. The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 38.69% in 2023-2024, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the school. Overall, the analysis of Central CUSD 4's data indicates that the district and its sole high school, Central High School, are facing significant performance and resource allocation issues that require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
