Best Public Schools in Zip Code 61816

Summary:

The 61816 zip code area has only one school, Heritage High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Heritage CUSD 8 district. While Heritage High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, with a drop from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 2-star rating in 2023-2024, the school's academic performance is mixed, with low proficiency rates in SAT Math but higher rates in SAT English Language Arts and ISA Science compared to district and state averages.

One area of concern at Heritage High School is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 44.0%, which may be impacting student learning and academic outcomes. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 35.88%, indicating that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's performance and resource needs.

Overall, while Heritage High School has some strengths, such as its higher proficiency rates in certain subject areas, the school also faces challenges, including the significant drop in its statewide ranking and the high chronic absenteeism rate. Addressing these issues and implementing targeted interventions to improve student learning and engagement should be a priority for the school and the district.
