Summary:
The 60959 zip code area is home to a single middle school, Tri-Point Junior High/Elementary, which serves students in grades 5-8. While the school has maintained a consistent middle-of-the-pack performance ranking among Illinois middle schools, its academic results have been mixed, with some subject areas exceeding district and state averages, while others fall short.
Tri-Point Junior High/Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 82.76% in 2023-2024, indicating a student population facing significant economic challenges. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,495 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.1, these resources do not appear to be fully translating into higher academic achievement across the board. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments vary, with ELA at 50% (above district but below state), math at 45.1% (above state but below district), and science results that are mixed between grade levels.
Overall, the single middle school in the 60959 zip code area is performing at an average level compared to its peers statewide, with room for improvement in certain academic areas. The school's high-poverty student population and the district's allocation of substantial resources to the school suggest that addressing the unique needs of the student body may be a key factor in driving better outcomes for the community.
