Summary:

The 61873 zip code area is home to three high-performing schools that are part of the St Joseph CCSD 169 and St Joseph Ogden CHSD 305 school districts. The schools include one elementary, one middle, and one high school, all of which have consistently demonstrated excellent academic achievement and strong student outcomes.

The standout school in this set is St Joseph Middle School, which has ranked in the top 100 middle schools in Illinois for the past three years and maintains a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Both St Joseph Elementary School and St Joseph Middle School have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state averages, while St Joseph-Ogden High School also performs well, with strong ACT scores and a high graduation rate.

Despite the overall high performance of these schools, the district faces some challenges, such as higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools. Additionally, the district serves a diverse student population with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, and ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities for all students should be a priority. Overall, the 61873 zip code area is home to a high-performing school district that is delivering quality education to its students, but the district should continue to address attendance and equity concerns to maintain its excellence.
