Best Public Schools in Zip Code 61350

Summary:

The 61350 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant variations in academic performance, student demographics, and financial resources across these institutions.

Wallace Elementary School and McKinley Elementary School stand out as top-performing schools, ranking among the best in Illinois and boasting high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Lincoln Elementary School and Shepherd Middle School have lower academic performance. The small Deer Park C C Elementary School also stands out with impressive results, suggesting that school size may not be the sole determinant of academic success.

The data also reveals a potential correlation between the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and academic performance, with schools serving more economically disadvantaged populations tending to have lower proficiency rates. Additionally, the wide range of chronic absenteeism rates, from 9.4% at McKinley Elementary to 30.3% at Jefferson Elementary, suggests that some schools may be more effective at addressing attendance issues, which can significantly impact student learning and achievement.
