Summary:
The 60102 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, spread across two school districts - Community Unit School District 300 (CUSD 300) and Huntley Community School District 158. The data reveals a stark contrast in school performance, with standout schools like Harry D Jacobs High School and Westfield Community School consistently ranking among the top 20% of Illinois schools, while others struggle to meet state averages.
Harry D Jacobs High School stands out with its impressive 96.2% 4-year graduation rate and low 1.0% dropout rate, along with test scores that exceed district and state averages. Similarly, Westfield Community School and two other elementary schools, Conley Elementary School and Kenneth E Neubert Elementary School, have earned 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and demonstrate strong academic performance.
However, the data also reveals significant variations in school spending, staffing, and student demographics, which may contribute to the observed performance gaps. Further analysis could explore the root causes behind these differences and identify best practices that could be replicated across the district to ensure all students in the 60102 zip code area have access to high-quality education.
