Best Public Schools in Zip Code 61241


Summary:

The 61241 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Colona Grade School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 375 students. The school is part of the Colona School District 190, which is ranked 682 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Colona Grade School faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, with consistently lower test scores than the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates range from 14.7% to 45.9%, compared to the state average of 30.6% to 49.9%, while its mathematics proficiency rates range from 2.3% to 37.8%, compared to the state average of 24.8% to 33.8%. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rate of 44.8% is lower than the state average of 53.2%. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.0% may be contributing to these low academic outcomes.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $12,636 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, the academic performance remains a concern. The high percentage of students (58.93%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact student learning and achievement. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the students at Colona Grade School.
