Summary:
The 61310 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Amboy CUSD 272 district. While the performance of these schools varies, one standout is Amboy Central Elementary School, which consistently ranks in the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools and exceeds district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
In contrast, Amboy Junior High School and Amboy High School have struggled to keep up with state performance metrics, with lower test scores, particularly in Mathematics, and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Amboy High School's SAT proficiency rates in both Math and English Language Arts are well below the state average.
While the schools have similar per-student spending levels and student-teacher ratios, the data suggests that addressing attendance issues and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students could be key priorities for the junior high and high school to improve academic outcomes and better align with the strong performance of Amboy Central Elementary School.
