Summary:

The 62206 zip code area in Illinois is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Cahokia CUSD 187 district. Unfortunately, the district as a whole is ranked 810 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating consistently low performance across the schools in this area.

While there are no clear standout schools, the Estelle Sauget School of Choice appears to be the highest performing, with the best proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics among the elementary schools. However, it is still ranked in the bottom 20% of Illinois elementary schools. The other schools in the 62206 zip code area demonstrate extremely low performance across key metrics, including graduation rates, dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and standardized test scores, all well below state averages.

Notably, all schools in the 62206 zip code area have very high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.25% to 93.08%, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the community. Additionally, the district spends more per student than the state average, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of the low performance, such as attendance, resource allocation, and community support, will be crucial for the Cahokia CUSD 187 district to provide a quality education to its students.
