Summary:
The 60064 zip code area in North Chicago, Illinois is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area face significant challenges, with most students coming from low-income households and performing well below state averages on standardized tests, one school stands out as a potential bright spot - LEARN 10 Charter School.
LEARN 10 Charter School outperforms the other schools in the area, with higher academic achievement, particularly in English Language Arts, and a lower chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, North Chicago Community High School struggles, with only 1.1% of 11th graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 26.7%. The district as a whole, North Chicago School District 187, is ranked 732 out of 823 districts in Illinois and rated 1 out of 5 stars, indicating significant challenges in providing quality education to its students.
The data also reveals stark disparities in funding and resources across the schools, with per-student spending ranging from $15,343 at LEARN 10 Charter School to $27,699 at Green Bay Early Childhood Center. This suggests that the performance gaps observed may be partly attributable to these funding disparities. Additionally, the extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 67.02% to 99.72%, highlight the significant economic challenges faced by the student population in this area.
