Summary:
The 62206 zip code area in Illinois is home to 5 elementary schools that are part of the Cahokia CUSD 187 district, which is ranked 810 out of 811 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. These schools serve grades ranging from pre-K to 8th grade, with student populations between 249 and 326.
Among the schools, Estelle Sauget School of Choice stands out as the top performer, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (25.2%) and Math (11.9%) compared to the district (13.3% and 5.6%, respectively) and state (53.1% and 38.5%) averages. Estelle Sauget also has a higher 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and lower chronic absenteeism rates (25.4%) than the other schools in the area.
However, the overall performance of the elementary schools in the 62206 zip code is concerning, with all schools performing well below state averages in both ELA and Math. Additionally, these schools have very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 83.53% to 93.08%, indicating significant economic disadvantages among the student populations. Despite the low academic outcomes, the schools in this area spend more per student than the state average, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the factors contributing to the poor performance.
