Summary:
The 60953 zip code in Illinois is home to two schools: Milford Grade School West Campus, an elementary school, and Milford High School Campus. While the high school maintains a respectable 3-star rating and ranking, the elementary school struggles with lower performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population facing significant socioeconomic challenges.
Milford High School Campus performs relatively well, ranking 226 out of 697 Illinois high schools and maintaining a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.4%. However, the school's SAT proficiency rates are slightly below the state average. In contrast, Milford Grade School West Campus is ranked 1261 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools and has significantly lower proficiency rates on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams compared to state averages.
Both schools serve a student population with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, over 55% at each school. This suggests the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the performance gap between the elementary and high school. Additionally, the district may need to address the high chronic absenteeism rates, which are well above the state average, and ensure equitable distribution of resources between the two schools.
