Summary:
The 60051 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of academic performance, with Johnsburg High School standing out as the highest-performing school in the area, consistently ranking among the top Illinois high schools and maintaining high graduation rates and test scores. In contrast, Hilltop Elementary School, despite being in the lower-performing McHenry CCSD 15 district, demonstrates higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages.
Across the schools, there are some concerning trends, such as the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates at McHenry Middle School and Hilltop Elementary, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Additionally, most schools in the area struggle with Mathematics proficiency, falling below the state average, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support in this subject area.
The data also reveals disparities in student demographics and resource allocation, with schools serving higher proportions of economically disadvantaged students, such as Hilltop Elementary, receiving lower per-student funding compared to other schools in the area. This highlights the potential for inequities in the distribution of resources and the need for a closer examination of how funding and support are allocated to ensure all students have access to the resources they need to succeed.
