Summary:
The 60097 zip code is home to a single school, Harrison Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has 402 students enrolled. The school is part of the Harrison School District 36, which is ranked 631 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Harrison Elementary School's performance is generally below the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.8% is higher than the state average, and its test scores in core subjects are significantly lower than the Illinois averages across all grade levels. The school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 57.71% suggests it serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 and high spending per student of $14,787, these factors do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes. This indicates a need to evaluate the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and spending priorities, as well as address the high chronic absenteeism rate and low test scores through targeted interventions and support programs.
