Summary:
The 61087 zip code in Illinois is home to two schools: Warren Elementary School and Warren Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Warren CUSD 205 district. While Warren Elementary has consistently performed well, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, Warren Junior/Senior High has seen a decline in its ranking and test scores in recent years.
Warren Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, with its students significantly outperforming their peers at the district and state levels, particularly in English Language Arts. Over 80% of the school's students are proficient or better in this subject across all grade levels. In contrast, Warren Junior/Senior High School's test scores, especially in mathematics, lag behind the district and state averages, despite the school maintaining a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89%.
Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4%, which is significantly above the state average. Additionally, approximately 44% of students at both schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the community may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student outcomes. The district appears to allocate resources fairly, with similar spending per student at both the elementary and secondary levels, but the differences in academic performance indicate a need to re-evaluate the effectiveness of these resource allocations.
