Summary:
The 60429 zip code area in Illinois is home to 4 elementary schools that consistently underperform compared to state averages. Jesse C White Learning Academy, Mae Jemison School, Highlands Elementary School, and Chateaux School all rank in the bottom 15% of Illinois elementary schools, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.
None of the schools in the 60429 zip code area stand out as high-performing. Jesse C White Learning Academy has the lowest statewide ranking, with only 10% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 6.8% in Mathematics. The other three schools also struggle with low test scores and high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 33.3% to 38.8%.
The consistently poor performance across all 4 schools suggests systemic challenges that need to be addressed, potentially related to socioeconomic factors and resource disparities. The schools are part of the Prairie-Hills Education Service District 144, which is ranked 766 out of 813 districts in Illinois, further indicating the need for district-level interventions and support to improve student outcomes in the 60429 zip code area.
