Summary:
The 61883 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Westville CUSD 2 district. While the elementary and high schools have shown some improvement in recent years, the overall academic performance of these schools remains below state averages, with the middle school, Westville Junior High School, being the lowest-performing in the area.
Judith Giacoma Elementary School has seen a slight increase in the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA and Math, but its overall performance still ranks in the bottom 33% of Illinois elementary schools. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is likely a contributing factor to its academic challenges. In contrast, Westville High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%, though its performance on standardized assessments is mixed, with ELA scores closer to the state average but Math and Science scores lagging behind.
The district as a whole, Westville CUSD 2, is ranked 752 out of 811 districts in Illinois and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the issues of low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and economic disadvantage among the student population will require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to ensure all students in the 61883 zip code area have the opportunity to succeed.
