Summary:
The 62560 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school - all part of the Panhandle CUSD 2 district. While the district as a whole is ranked 498 out of 811 in Illinois and has a 2-star rating, one school stands out as a bright spot - Raymond Grade School.
Raymond Grade School outperforms the district and state averages in several academic areas, including 46.4% proficiency in ELA and 52.4% proficiency in Math for all grades, compared to 44.6% and 37.7% for the district, respectively. The school is ranked 744 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Lincolnwood High School and Lincolnwood Junior High School struggle academically, with proficiency rates in core subjects like ELA, Math, and Science significantly lower than state averages.
The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across all the schools, ranging from 39.5% to 46.91%, suggest that the student population in this area faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may impact academic performance. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios, all below 11:1, indicate that the schools have a good level of staffing resources that could be leveraged to support student learning and achievement.
