Summary:

The 61111 zip code in Illinois is home to 5 schools, all of which are part of the Harlem UD 122 school district. The schools include 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school, serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade.

Among the elementary schools, Maple Elementary School stands out as the highest performer, with the best proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades. Harlem Middle School also performs better than the district average in both subjects, though its proficiency rates are still below the state averages. The other elementary schools, Rock Cut Elementary, Windsor Elementary, and Loves Park Elementary, show more variability in their academic performance.

A key concern across all schools in the district is the high chronic absenteeism rate, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the elementary schools have very high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. These factors likely contribute to the overall lower academic performance compared to state averages, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the achievement gaps and challenges faced by the schools in the Harlem UD 122 district.
