Summary:
The 60805 zip code area in Evergreen Park, Illinois is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Evergreen Park Education Service District 124 and the Evergreen Park CHSD 231 districts. The standout school in the area is Southwest Elementary School, which has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Illinois with a 4-star rating and the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics among the elementary schools.
Another notable school is Evergreen Park High School, which has a 4-star rating and ranks in the top 30% of Illinois high schools. It has a high 4-year graduation rate of 92.8% and a relatively low dropout rate of 1.8%. However, the data reveals a wide range of performance among the schools in the 60805 zip code area, with several other schools, particularly the middle school and some of the elementary schools, struggling with low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism.
The analysis suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance, as the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. Additionally, the significant variation in spending per student across the schools may be a contributing factor to the differences in performance, highlighting the importance of equitable resource allocation. The district has the opportunity to identify and share the successful strategies and practices of the top-performing schools with the lower-performing schools to help raise overall academic achievement.
