Summary:
The 60959 zip code has only one school, Tri-Point Junior High/Elementary, which serves grades 4-8 and has 145 students enrolled. The school is part of the Tri Point CUSD 6-J district, which is ranked 436 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Tri-Point Junior High/Elementary's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate is slightly below the state average, while in Mathematics, it is significantly higher. However, the school's performance varies across grade levels, with 5th grade students performing particularly well in both subjects, but 6th and 8th grade students struggling in Mathematics. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 82.76% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the uneven academic performance suggests that the effectiveness of these resources may need to be evaluated and potentially reallocated to address specific areas of need. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing additional support for the school's socioeconomically disadvantaged population could be important focus areas for the school and district.
