Best Public Schools in Zip Code 61834

Summary:

The 61834 zip code area in Danville, Illinois is home to two elementary schools - Southwest Elementary School and Meade Park Elementary School, both part of the Danville CCSD 118 district. While the schools serve similar communities, the data reveals notable differences in their academic performance and student demographics.

Southwest Elementary School outperforms Meade Park Elementary School across key metrics, including higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, both schools face challenges, with chronic absenteeism rates well above the state average and relatively low statewide rankings, placing them in the bottom quartile of Illinois elementary schools.

The data also suggests socioeconomic factors play a significant role, as Meade Park Elementary School has a much higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Southwest Elementary School. This disparity in student demographics likely contributes to the performance gap between the two schools and highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by each institution.
