Schools in Zip Code 60963

ZIP code 60963 has two schools in Rossville-Alvin Elementary School (pre-K–8, 300 students) and Bismarck-Henning Rossville-Alvin Cooperative High School 7 (grades 9–12, 109 students), both part of Rossville-Alvin CUSD 7. Only the elementary school has test results here, so the schools cannot be ranked against each other; the clearest concern in the available results is elementary mathematics, where the all-grades score was 30%, about 10 points below Illinois.

The elementary school’s strongest reported comparisons are in science and some ELA grades. In 2025–26, fifth-grade science proficiency was 56%, 9 points above the state, and eighth-grade science was 54%, 2 points above. ELA was notably strong in seventh grade, at 74% versus 58% statewide, and eighth grade, at 72% versus 63%. Sixth-grade ELA was a clear exception: 49%, 10 points below the state. Fourth- and fifth-grade mathematics were above their state comparisons by 15 and 4 points, respectively, despite the lower all-grades mathematics result. The high school has no test results in these data, so there is no basis for identifying it as a top- or lower-performing school.

Elementary all-grades results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA rose from 48% to 56%, narrowing its gap with the state by 4 points; mathematics rose from 25% to 30%, narrowing its gap by 3 points, though it remains the larger concern. Science also rose sharply in the two reported grades: fifth grade went from 8% to 56%, and eighth grade from 32% to 54%. SchoolDigger’s elementary ranking percentile rose from 34 to 52 over three years. Other context measures include a student-teacher ratio of 15 in 2024–25, 58% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, and chronic absenteeism of 29% versus 24% statewide in 2025–26; these figures describe the school but do not explain its results.
