Summary:
The 60402 zip code area in Illinois is home to 15 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, spread across two school districts - Berwyn North School District 98 and Berwyn South School District 100. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with notable disparities between the two districts.
Heritage Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, ranking in the top third of Illinois middle schools and boasting impressive test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. Piper School, an elementary school in Berwyn South, also performs well, ranking in the top 50% of Illinois elementary schools with above-average test scores and a low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, J. Sterling Morton West High School has a low 4-year graduation rate, suggesting the need for targeted interventions at the high school level.
Across the schools, there is a wide range in academic performance, with proficiency rates in 3rd grade math varying from 10.3% at Emerson Elementary to 40.8% at Karel Havlicek Elementary. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with rates ranging from 21.1% at Hiawatha Elementary to 35.2% at Freedom Middle School. The high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility across the schools suggest that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in student achievement.
