Best Public Schools in Zip Code 60135

Summary:

The 60135 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school - all part of the Genoa Kingston CUSD 424 district. While Genoa-Kingston Middle School maintains a strong academic standing, the performance of Genoa-Kingston High School and Genoa Elementary School shows signs of decline, with the elementary school being a particular area of concern.

Genoa-Kingston High School, ranked 414 out of 697 Illinois high schools, has seen a drop in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, with proficiency rates in SAT Math and ELA below the state averages. In contrast, Genoa-Kingston Middle School, ranked 500 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools, excels in English Language Arts proficiency, outperforming the district and state averages.

Genoa Elementary School, however, lags behind the district and state in both ELA and Math proficiency, with only 27.3% and 20% of students proficient or better across all grades. This underperformance is consistent with the school's declining statewide ranking, dropping from 913 out of 2,082 Illinois elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,213 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024. Further investigation into the factors contributing to these trends would be valuable to identify opportunities for improvement and ensure equitable educational outcomes for all students in the district.
