Summary:
The 60968 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Iroquois West Elementary School/Thawville, which serves grades 4-5 and is part of the Iroquois West CUSD 10 district. While the school has shown some strengths in English Language Arts and Math proficiency compared to state averages, its 5th grade Science proficiency rate is an area of concern. The school serves a relatively high-need student population, with a large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Iroquois West Elementary School/Thawville has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking in recent years, ranging from 645 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 749 out of 2,077 in 2022-2023. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. However, the school's resource allocation, with higher-than-average per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, suggests that the district is making efforts to support the school's improvement.
Overall, while Iroquois West Elementary School/Thawville faces some challenges, the data indicates that the school and district are working to address these issues. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to drive consistent improvement in student outcomes and ensure that all students in the 60968 zip code area have access to a high-quality education.
