Summary:
The 60157 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Medinah Primary School and Medinah Intermediate School, both part of the Medinah School District 11. While the schools share some similarities, such as higher-than-average spending per student and smaller class sizes, they also exhibit notable differences in their performance and trends.
Medinah Intermediate School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 598 out of 2,082 Illinois elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 944 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school's performance may be trending downward compared to its peers. Additionally, both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which could be impacting academic achievement and should be addressed as a priority.
Academically, Medinah Intermediate School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the district and state averages, with some exceptions in 3rd and 4th-grade ELA. However, the school's science proficiency is above the district and state averages. Medinah Primary School, on the other hand, appears to be performing more consistently, with a stronger focus on science education. Overall, the data indicates that while the district is investing resources into these schools, there is room for improvement in ensuring all students are receiving a high-quality education.
