Summary:
The 60445 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, spread across two different school districts - Midlothian School District 143 and Cook County School District 130. While the schools in this area face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, the data reveals stark differences in academic performance between them.
Springfield Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grades compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Central Park Elementary lags behind, with lower proficiency rates. Nathan Hale Primary School also performs well, with the second-highest English Language Arts proficiency and strong 3rd-grade Math scores.
The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as schools with higher rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, such as Nathan Hale Middle School, tend to have lower proficiency rates. Additionally, Bremen High School has shown improvement in its state ranking over the past three years, but its proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts remain below state averages, indicating room for further enhancement.
