Summary:
The 60550 zip code area is home to two schools - Indian Creek High School and Indian Creek Elementary School, both part of the Indian Creek CUSD 425 district. While the elementary school is a solid performer, ranking in the top 25-30% of Illinois elementary schools, the high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past 3 years, dropping from the top 36% of Illinois high schools to the top 53%.
The elementary school outperforms the district and state averages in ELA proficiency for 3rd and 4th grades, and matches or exceeds the district average in math. In contrast, both math and ELA proficiency rates at the high school level trail the state averages by a significant margin. The high school also has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.1%, but a higher dropout rate of 3.6% compared to the state average.
Overall, the data suggests a performance gap between the elementary and high school, with the high school struggling to keep up with state averages. Addressing this gap and improving academic outcomes at the high school level should be a key priority for the district. While the elementary school is a solid performer, the district as a whole is ranked in the bottom half of Illinois school districts, which likely contributes to the challenges seen at both the elementary and high school levels.
