Best Public Schools in Zip Code 61427

Summary:

The 61427 zip code area in Illinois is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the CUSD 3 Fulton County school district. While the schools share some similarities, such as higher-than-average rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, they also exhibit varying levels of academic performance and areas for improvement.

Cuba Senior High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 78.0%, but its performance on standardized tests, such as the SAT, is below the state average. In contrast, Cuba Middle School has maintained a consistent statewide ranking, with strong science proficiency but lower math proficiency.

Across the district, the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients suggest potential equity challenges, and the inconsistent school performance indicates opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing math instruction and student attendance. By focusing on these areas, the CUSD 3 Fulton County school district can work towards providing a more equitable and high-quality education for all students in the 61427 zip code area.
