Summary:
The 60020 zip code area is home to two schools - Grant Community High School, a high school serving grades 9-12, and Stanton School, a middle school serving grades 5-8. While Grant Community High School has a relatively high graduation rate and low dropout rate, both schools perform below the state averages in core academic subjects like math and English language arts on standardized tests.
Grant Community High School stands out with its strong 92.7% 4-year graduation rate and 2.2% dropout rate, but its test scores on the SAT exams are below the state averages. In contrast, Stanton School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and performs significantly lower than the state averages on the IAR exams in both English language arts and mathematics. Additionally, Stanton School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 14.5%.
The data suggests that while Grant CHSD 124 and Fox Lake GSD 114 districts allocate more resources to the high school, with higher per-student spending and a better student-teacher ratio, the overall academic performance of the schools in this area remains a concern, particularly at the middle school level. Further investigation into the factors contributing to these disparities could help identify opportunities to support improved educational outcomes for all students in the 60020 zip code area.
