Summary:
The 60181 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, spread across two different school districts - School District 45 DuPage County and Salt Creek School District 48. While the schools in this area show a wide range of performance, a few standouts emerge.
Ardmore Elementary School ranks in the top 224 elementary schools in Illinois and maintains a consistent 4-star rating, with over 50% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Similarly, John E Albright Middle School ranks in the top 320 middle schools and boasts impressive test scores, with over 50% proficiency in English Language Arts and over 30% in Mathematics. The lone high school, Willowbrook High School, ranks in the top 167 high schools in Illinois and maintains a strong 92.6% four-year graduation rate.
However, the data also reveals a significant disparity in school performance, with some schools like Jefferson Middle School and North Elementary struggling with lower test scores and proficiency rates. This disparity appears to be linked to socioeconomic factors, as schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower academic outcomes. Additionally, the school district a student attends seems to play a significant role, with schools in the higher-ranked Salt Creek School District 48 generally outperforming those in the lower-ranked School District 45 DuPage County.
