Summary:
The 19943 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 high school - all part of the Lake Forest School District. While the elementary schools, Lake Forest Central Elementary and Lake Forest North Elementary, demonstrate strong academic performance, the high school, Lake Forest High School, faces some challenges in student achievement.
The standout schools in the area are the two elementary schools. Lake Forest North Elementary has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd graders, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. Similarly, Lake Forest Central Elementary boasts strong academic performance, with 5th graders outperforming the district and state in English Language Arts proficiency.
In contrast, Lake Forest High School lags behind the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Essay proficiency on the SAT. However, the school's 10th-grade students did outperform the state in science proficiency on the DeSSA assessment. Additionally, the high school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.6%, which may be contributing to the academic challenges. Addressing these disparities and improving attendance could be crucial focus areas for the district.
