Summary:

Three schools serve students from prekindergarten through grade 12 in zip code 61360: Seneca Grade School North Campus (PK–4), Seneca Elementary School South Campus (grades 5–8), and Seneca High School (grades 9–12). The clearest broad strength is at the two lower-grade campuses: in 2025–2026, both were above the state in all-grades English and math, with their average math result 19 percentage points above the state.

North Campus led the lower-grade schools in all-grades math at 64%, compared with 54% at South Campus and 40% statewide; North also narrowly led in English, 68% to 67%. South had standout results in eighth-grade English (82%, 19 points above the state) and sixth-grade English (77%, 19 points above), but seventh-grade English was 50%, 8 points below the state. At Seneca High, grade 11 ACT English (60%) and science (54%) exceeded state results by 10 and 6 points, while math (30%) was 10 points below.
