Summary:
The 60007 zip code area is home to 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. This diverse educational landscape showcases a range of academic performance, with some standout schools leading the way and others facing challenges.
At the top of the pack are Margaret Mead Junior High School and Ridge Family Center for Learning, both of which consistently rank among the best in the state. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with over 70% of students proficient in core subjects. In contrast, Rupley Elementary and Adm Richard E Byrd Elementary struggle with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages.
The data also reveals a strong correlation between chronic absenteeism and academic performance, with the high-performing schools generally having lower rates of chronic absenteeism. Additionally, schools with higher percentages of students from low-income families, such as Rupley Elementary and Adm Richard E Byrd Elementary, tend to have lower academic achievement. This underscores the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these school communities within the Township HSD 214, Community Cons School District 59, and Schaumburg CCSD 54 districts.
