Summary:
The 60938 zip code area is home to two schools - Iroquois West High School and Iroquois West Elementary School/Gilman, both part of the Iroquois West CUSD 10 district. While the elementary school demonstrates strong academic performance, the high school faces challenges with attendance and overall achievement.
Iroquois West Elementary School/Gilman stands out with impressive 3rd grade proficiency rates, significantly outperforming state averages in both English Language Arts (62.2% vs. 28.8%) and Math (71.7% vs. 33%). In contrast, Iroquois West High School struggles academically, with only 8.3% and 10.6% of 11th graders proficient in Math and ELA respectively, well below state benchmarks. However, the high school does have a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.4%, better than the state average.
Both schools serve a diverse student population, with a majority white enrollment and significant Hispanic representation. Socioeconomic challenges are evident, as nearly half to two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing attendance issues at the high school and providing additional resources and support for these economically disadvantaged students could be key focus areas for improving educational outcomes in the 60938 zip code area.
