Summary:
The 61520 zip code area in Illinois is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Canton Union School District 66. While the schools vary in their performance, Lincoln Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as the highest SchoolDigger rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
Canton High School also performs relatively well, ranking 256 out of 698 Illinois high schools, with a 89.0% four-year graduation rate and a 2.4% dropout rate, both of which are better than the district and state averages. However, the other schools in the district generally perform below the state averages on the IAR assessments, particularly in Mathematics, suggesting potential areas for improvement.
Across the schools, there are some concerning trends, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average. The schools also have varying levels of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 50.24% at Lincoln Elementary to 61.44% at Westview Elementary, which may contribute to the performance differences observed. Additionally, the differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may also play a role in their performance.
