Summary:
The 61010 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Byron CUSD 226 district. These schools generally perform well, with Byron High School 9-12 standing out as a top-performing high school in the state, ranking 96th out of 697 Illinois high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The Byron Middle School also excels, ranking 262nd out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school's students perform exceptionally well in English Language Arts, with 73.3% proficient or better across all grades, significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Mary Morgan Elementary School has more average test scores, with 42.6% of students proficient or better in ELA, slightly above the state average of 41.2%.
While the schools in the 61010 zip code generally perform well, there is one area of potential concern: the high chronic absenteeism rate at Byron High School, which stands at 24.0%, notably higher than the other two schools. This is an issue that may warrant further investigation and attention from the district to ensure all students are consistently attending school.
