Summary:

The zip code 60957 is home to a single high school, Paxton-Buckley-Loda High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated over the past few years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 94th out of 697 Illinois high schools in 2023-2024 to 289th out of 699 in 2022-2023. However, the school has consistently outperformed the state average in several academic areas, including ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science, as well as in PreACT Secure assessments across multiple grade levels.

While Paxton-Buckley-Loda High School has a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 45.72%, indicating a need for additional support and resources for students from low-income families, the school's per-student spending of $18,026 and a student-teacher ratio of 10.8 suggest that it is allocating significant resources to support its students. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2024-2025 is 89.0%, which is higher than the state average, and its dropout rate for 2024-2025 is 2.4%, which is lower than the state average.

However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate for 2024-2025 is 25.4%, which is higher than the state average, and it underperforms the state average in SAT/English Language Arts. These areas could be potential focus points for the school to improve its overall performance and ensure that all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.
