Summary:
The 60016 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, spread across three different school districts: Community Consolidated School District 62 (CCSD 62), East Maine School District 63, and Community Consolidated School District 59. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools in the area, with significant gaps in academic achievement and student outcomes.
Cumberland Elementary School and Terrace Elementary School stand out as the top-performing schools, ranking in the top 10-15% of Illinois elementary schools. These schools have consistently high test scores, low chronic absenteeism rates, and appear to be well-resourced. In contrast, Apollo Elementary School and North Elementary School have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism, suggesting they may be facing greater challenges.
The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic factors, such as free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with higher rates of students from low-income families tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism. This highlights the impact of socioeconomic disparities on educational outcomes. Overall, the analysis suggests that addressing these inequities and ensuring equitable access to resources and support could be key to improving the performance of all schools in the 60016 zip code area.
