Summary:
The 61087 zip code in Illinois is home to two schools: Warren Junior/Senior High School and Warren Elementary School, both part of the Warren CUSD 205 district. While the elementary school consistently ranks among the top 10% of Illinois schools, the high school's performance has been more mixed, with some grades and subjects performing above the district and state averages, and others falling below.
Warren Elementary School is a standout, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years, placing it in the top tier of elementary schools in the state. The school outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In contrast, the high school's academic performance is more varied, with its SAT scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts falling below the state averages.
Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the differences in performance between the elementary and high school, as the high school has a higher percentage of students in this category. Additionally, the high school's chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the elementary school, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and support could help the high school enhance its performance and better support student success.
