Summary:
The 7 schools in the 60517 zip code, all part of the Woodridge School District 68, include 6 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The district as a whole performs well, with all schools earning a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. However, there is notable variation in academic outcomes across the elementary schools, presenting opportunities for the district to learn from its top performers and implement best practices more broadly.
Thomas Jefferson Junior High School stands out as a high-achieving middle school, ranking in the top 20% of Illinois middle schools. Its students demonstrate strong proficiency in English Language Arts (71.7%) and solid performance in Math (43%). At the elementary level, John L Sipley Elementary School and William F Murphy Elementary School are also strong performers, ranking in the top 10-15% of Illinois elementary schools.
The data reveals potential equity considerations, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 32.91% at Meadowview Elementary to 52.65% at Edgewood Elementary. Additionally, per-student spending varies from $16,349 at Goodrich Elementary to $20,363 at Edgewood Elementary, which may contribute to the observed performance differences. The district should further investigate these disparities to ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities for all students.
