Best Public Schools in Zip Code 60924

Summary:

The 60924 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Cissna Park CUSD 6 district. The standout school in this data set is Cissna Park Junior High School, which has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Illinois middle schools and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, are significantly above the district and state averages.

While the middle school excels, the data reveals some areas of concern for the other schools in the district. The Cissna Park Senior High School struggles academically, with test scores well below state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. The high school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.9%, which is worth investigating further. In contrast, the Cissna Park Elementary School lags behind, with only 38.2% of students proficient in both ELA and Math.

The variation in spending per student across the schools is also noteworthy, with the high school spending the most at $15,273 per student, compared to $12,334 at the elementary school and $13,654 at the middle school. Understanding how these funds are being allocated and whether there are opportunities to optimize resources could help drive better outcomes across the district.
