These schools, which are part of the Manhattan School District 114, consistently outperform state and district averages in academic areas such as ELA, Math, and Science proficiency.

Anna McDonald Elementary School stands out as a top performer, ranking 291 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Manhattan Junior High School also impresses, ranking 180 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools and boasting high proficiency rates in ELA and Math, particularly in 8th grade.

While the schools in the 60442 zip code area generally perform well, there are a few areas that warrant further examination. The middle school has a notably higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the elementary schools, and the transition from 5th to 6th grade shows a drop in Math proficiency, suggesting a need to ensure a smooth academic progression for students. Additionally, the relatively low free/reduced lunch rates across the schools may indicate a lack of socioeconomic diversity, which could have implications for equity and access to educational opportunities.
