Summary:

The 62992 zip code area has only one elementary school, Century Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with 175 students. The school is part of the Century CUSD 100 district, which is ranked 706 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Century Elementary School's academic performance is generally below state averages, with proficiency rates in ELA and Math for all grades at 42.9% and 12.9% respectively in 2024-2025, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with ELA proficiency dropping from 20.3% in 2023-2024 to 42.9% in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is a significant concern.

The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 63.43% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. This may require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of these students. Overall, the data suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's practices and the implementation of targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and address the identified areas of concern.
