Summary:
The 61944 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area serve a relatively high-need population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 20.31% to 86.71%. While some schools, such as Paris Cooperative High School 95 and Crestwood Junior High School, stand out for their strong performance, there are notable gaps in proficiency rates between different grade levels and subject areas across the schools.
Crestwood Elementary School and Mayo Middle School are two of the highest-performing schools in the area, with Crestwood Elementary boasting relatively strong test scores compared to the district and state averages, and Mayo Middle ranking in the top 15% of Illinois middle schools. However, chronic absenteeism is a concern across the schools, with rates ranging from 13.1% to 35.7%.
The schools in this area are served by two different school districts, Paris-Union School District 95 and Paris CUSD 4, which show significant variation in performance. This suggests potential inequities in resource allocation that could be contributing to the observed performance gaps. Addressing these disparities and improving attendance rates may be key focus areas for supporting student success in the 61944 zip code area.
