Summary:
The 62351 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Cusd 4 school district. Among these, Unity Middle School stands out as the highest performer, ranking 401 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts strong test scores, with 68.7% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 41.5% in Mathematics.
While Unity High School ranks respectably at 341 out of 698 Illinois high schools, it lags behind the state in some areas, such as 11th grade ELA and Math proficiency. All three schools, however, face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%, which could impact student learning and outcomes. Additionally, these schools serve a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates between 41-47%.
Overall, the schools in the 62351 zip code area show a mix of performance, with the middle school being the standout. Addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting the economically disadvantaged student population appear to be key focus areas for the district. While the elementary and middle schools perform well overall, the high school's performance in certain academic areas suggests the need to address potential opportunity gaps and ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
