Best Public Schools in Zip Code 60087

Summary:

The 60087 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 7 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the schools in this area face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools.

The standout schools in the area are Little Fort Elementary School, which has the highest overall performance with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, as well as a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. John S. Clark Elementary School and H.R. McCall Elementary School also stand out with high academic performance and 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

However, the data also reveals that some schools in the area, such as Clearview Elementary School and Oakdale Elementary School, have significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects, indicating a need for additional support and resources to address these disparities. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage across the schools in the Waukegan CUSD 60 and Beach Park CCSD 3 districts suggest that these factors may be contributing to the performance gaps observed in the data.
