Summary:
The 62988 zip code area is home to three schools - Egyptian Elementary School, Egyptian Senior High School, and Egyptian Junior High School - all part of the Egyptian CUSD 5 school district. Unfortunately, the data shows that these schools are consistently underperforming, with low test scores, high poverty rates, and other concerning metrics across the board.
None of the schools in the 62988 zip code area stand out as clear performers. The Egyptian Senior High School has the highest statewide ranking among the three, but its test scores and other indicators still lag behind state averages. The elementary and middle schools in the district have particularly low proficiency rates on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams, with only 21.1% and 8.2% of students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 7.9% and 2.7% in math, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively.
The data also reveals high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.86% to 100%, indicating a high-poverty student population. Additionally, the schools struggle with chronic absenteeism, with all three reporting rates over 25.4%. Despite relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the schools have failed to show meaningful improvement over time, suggesting systemic challenges that need to be addressed through targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies within the Egyptian CUSD 5 district.
