The 61085 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Stockton CUSD 206 district. While the middle and high schools in this area demonstrate strong academic performance, the elementary school lags behind, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to improve outcomes at the lower grades.
Stockton Senior High School stands out as a top-performing school, ranking 55th out of 697 Illinois high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 91.7% four-year graduation rate and strong academic achievement, with over 50% of 11th-graders proficient in English Language Arts and 43.3% proficient in Mathematics, outpacing district and state averages. In contrast, Stockton Middle School consistently ranks in the top 25% of Illinois middle schools, with 72.4% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 68.8% proficient in Science, significantly higher than the district and state.
While the high school and middle school demonstrate strong performance, Stockton Elementary School lags behind, particularly in mathematics. This disparity in academic achievement across grade levels suggests a need for the district to investigate the factors contributing to this gap and implement targeted interventions to improve outcomes at the elementary level. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate at the high school (26.9%) is a concern that may be impacting student success, and the significant difference in per-student spending between the middle and high schools warrants further analysis to ensure equitable resource distribution.
