Summary:
The 60940 zip code is home to two schools, Grant Park Elementary School and Grant Park High School, both part of the Grant Park CUSD 6 district. The data shows that Grant Park Elementary School consistently outperforms state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while Grant Park High School has a strong 100% four-year graduation rate despite fluctuations in its statewide ranking.
Grant Park Elementary School stands out for its academic excellence, with students scoring above the state averages on the IAR assessments across all grade levels. In contrast, Grant Park High School's performance has been more variable, with its statewide ranking ranging from 179th to 408th out of 697-699 Illinois high schools over the past three school years. However, the high school's 100% four-year graduation rate is an impressive achievement.
Both schools appear to be allocating resources effectively, with similar student-teacher ratios and per-student spending levels that are in line with or above the state averages. The data also reveals socioeconomic differences between the two schools, with the elementary school having a higher percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch compared to the high school. This suggests the elementary school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could impact academic outcomes.
