Summary:
The 62363 zip code area in Illinois is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Pikeland CUSD 10 district. While Pittsfield High School stands out as the top performer, the other two schools, Pikeland Community School and Pittsfield South Elementary School, lag behind in academic achievement.
Pittsfield High School is ranked 289 out of 698 Illinois high schools and has a 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%. In contrast, the middle and elementary schools in the district have below-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages. All three schools, however, face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%, significantly above the state average.
The schools in the 62363 zip code serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 47.44% to 57.34%. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the academic performance of the schools still lags behind state averages, suggesting the need for the district to evaluate the effectiveness of resource utilization and address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the community.
