Summary:
The 60660 zip code area of Chicago, Illinois is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299. While the district as a whole is ranked 688 out of 813 in Illinois and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few schools in the 60660 area stand out.
Peirce Elementary International Studies School is the highest-performing school in the 60660 zip code, ranked 696 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. It outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, and has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 20.7%. In contrast, Senn High School, the only high school in the area, has a 67.4% chronic absenteeism rate, which may be contributing to its lower academic performance compared to the district average.
The schools in the 60660 zip code generally have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 36.18% at Peirce Elementary International Studies School to 90.03% at Asian Human Srvcs-Passage Charter. This indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Despite the relatively high spending per student, the schools in the 60660 zip code are still underperforming compared to the district and state averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving academic outcomes.
