Best Public Schools in Zip Code 60474

Summary:

The 60474 zip code is home to a single elementary school, South Wilmington Grade School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 89 students. The school is part of the South Wilmington CCSD 74 district.

South Wilmington Grade School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 502 out of 2,037 schools in 2017-2018 to 918 out of 1,948 schools in 2020-2021. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 3 stars during this period. Academically, the school's performance is mixed, with 7th-grade students performing at or above the district and state averages in ELA and math, but 8th-grade students falling below in ELA and science. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.3%.

Despite the school's high spending per student ($14,875) and low student-teacher ratio (11.1), the declining performance and high chronic absenteeism suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes. Additionally, the school's overwhelmingly White student population (88.76%) may indicate potential issues with equity and inclusion that should be further explored.
