Summary:
The 62923 zip code has only one school, Cypress Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-8 and is part of the Cypress School District 64. While the school has a relatively low statewide ranking and below-average performance on standardized tests, it also faces challenges with high poverty rates and chronic absenteeism.
Cypress Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools over the past three school years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science falling below the state averages. The school's performance on standardized tests is a concern, with only 27.3% to 53.8% of students proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to the state averages of 47.3% to 56.7% in ELA and 32.9% to 49.6% in Math. Additionally, the school's 8th-grade science proficiency rate of 27.3% is significantly lower than the state average of 45.4%.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (60.55%) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is much higher than the state average. These factors suggest that Cypress Elementary School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
