Summary:
The 62243 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school, all serving the Freeburg community. While the schools show some variation in performance and student demographics, the data suggests the district is generally providing a solid educational foundation for its students.
The standout school in the area is Freeburg Community High School, which has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Illinois high schools and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 11th-grade test scores significantly exceed state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, and it boasts a low dropout rate of 2.4% and a strong 4-year graduation rate of 89%. In contrast, the two schools in the Freeburg CCSD 70 district, Freeburg Elementary and Freeburg Primary Center, have similar performance metrics, ranking in the top 25% of Illinois middle and elementary schools, respectively.
However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, with all three schools reporting high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.4% to 30.57%. Additionally, the schools serve student populations with varying levels of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rates, which range from 11.97% at Freeburg Community High School to 30.57% at Freeburg Primary Center. The district may need to tailor its support and resources to address these disparities and improve attendance across all its schools.
