Best Public Schools in Zip Code 60640


Summary:

The 60640 zip code area of Chicago is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 high schools, and no middle or alternative schools. The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance among these schools, with some standouts like Devry Advantage Academy High School performing well above district and state averages, while others, like Courtenay Elementary Language Arts Center, struggle significantly.

Devry Advantage Academy High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the data set, ranking 189 out of 697 Illinois high schools and achieving a 100% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Courtenay Elementary Language Arts Center has the lowest proficiency rates, with only 14% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 0% in Mathematics. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant issue across the schools, ranging from 23.4% at McPherson Elementary School to 91.9% at YCCS-Truman Middle College High School.

The data also reveals that higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to better academic performance. For example, McCutcheon Elementary School spends the most per student at $31,205, yet has relatively low proficiency rates. This highlights the importance of analyzing school-level data rather than relying solely on district-level information, as the Chicago Public Schools District 299 encompasses a diverse range of educational experiences and outcomes.
