Summary:
The 62458 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the St Elmo CUSD 202 district. While St Elmo Elementary School shows strong performance in English Language Arts, the middle and high schools struggle, particularly in mathematics. Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern across all three schools, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%, well above the state average.
The elementary school stands out, with 59.7% of students proficient or better in ELA in 2024-2025, compared to the district and state averages. However, its math proficiency rates are lower, at only 43.8%. In contrast, St Elmo Senior High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89%, and its 11th-grade students outperform the district and state in ELA, but only 25% meet or exceed math standards, well below the state average.
Across the schools, high percentages of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.72% to 70.18%, indicating significant economic disadvantages. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable access to resources may be crucial in improving overall student performance and creating a more consistent educational experience for students in the 62458 zip code area.
