Summary:
The 61482 zip code area is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12, all part of the V I T Cusd 2 school district. While the middle school, V I T Junior High School, stands out for its relatively strong English Language Arts and science proficiency, the elementary and high schools struggle with low math and ELA scores, particularly in the lower grades.
The high school, V I T Senior High School, has a respectable 81% 4-year graduation rate and low 2.2% dropout rate, but its academic performance on the SAT still lags behind state averages. All three schools serve significant populations of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 29% to 40%.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern, especially at the high school level where it reaches 24.1%. While the high school spends the most per student at $19,053, its academic outcomes are lower than the junior high, which spends $14,902 per student. Targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies could help address these disparities and improve learning outcomes for students across the 61482 zip code area.
