Summary:
The 62262 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Mulberry Grove CUSD 1 district. While the Mulberry Grove Elementary School has shown some improvement in test scores, the overall academic performance across the district remains below state averages, with the Mulberry Grove Senior High School and Mulberry Grove Junior High School struggling the most.
The district's schools face several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 25.4% to 25.4% across the three schools, significantly higher than the state average. Test scores are also consistently below state averages, with the junior high school being the lowest performing. While the district's spending per student is in line with the state average, the high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.43% to 57.86%, indicate a high level of economic disadvantage in the area.
Despite the overall challenges, the Mulberry Grove Senior High School has maintained a consistent ranking in the middle of the pack for Illinois high schools, with a relatively high graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%. This suggests the school may be doing a better job of supporting students and helping them graduate compared to the other schools in the district, which could be an area of focus for improvement across the district.
