Summary:
The 60936 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley CUSD 5 district. The data highlights the strengths and areas for improvement within these schools, with the GCMS High School and GCMS Middle School standing out as top performers in the area.
GCMS High School is ranked 86 out of 697 Illinois high schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, with an impressive 94.4% four-year graduation rate and strong performance on standardized tests. GCMS Middle School is also a standout, ranking 398 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools and excelling in English Language Arts, with 58.3% of all students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages.
While GCMS Elementary School has slightly lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages, the overall data suggests a district-wide commitment to education, with higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios at the middle and high school levels. However, the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, ranging from 14.5% to 17.7%, present an opportunity for further investigation and targeted interventions.
