Summary:

The 61350 zip code area is home to 6 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools, located in various districts, demonstrate a range of academic performance, with some standouts that consistently rank among the top elementary schools in Illinois.

Wallace Elementary School and McKinley Elementary School are the top-performing schools in the area, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and proficiency rates that exceed state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Rutland Elementary School also stands out, ranking among the top 255 elementary schools in Illinois and significantly outperforming the state in core subjects.

In contrast, Lincoln Elementary School and Jefferson Elementary School have lower proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics, compared to their peers. These disparities may be influenced by factors beyond just funding and student demographics, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and curriculum. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state average across all schools in the area, could also be a valuable focus to improve overall academic performance.
