Summary:
The 61520 zip code area in Illinois is home to three elementary schools: Westview Elementary School, Eastview Elementary School, and Lincoln Elementary School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Canton Union School District 66.
Among the three schools, Lincoln Elementary School stands out as the top performer. It has the highest statewide ranking, placing 545 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools, and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lincoln Elementary also has the strongest academic performance, with the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (61.8%) and Mathematics (57.9%) across all grades, significantly outpacing the district and state averages.
While the other two schools, Westview Elementary and Eastview Elementary, have lower test scores and performance metrics, they all share a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism rates, at 25.4% across the board. Additionally, the disparities in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios between the schools suggest that simply increasing funding and reducing class sizes may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes in this area.
