Summary:
The 62013 zip code area is home to two small schools - Brussels High School and Brussels Grade School, both part of the Brussels CUSD 42 district. While Brussels Grade School is a solid performer, Brussels High School stands out as an exceptional school, ranking in the top 15% of Illinois high schools and boasting a 100% four-year graduation rate.
Brussels High School has just 57 students but maintains a strong 4-5 star rating from SchoolDigger and impressive academic metrics, with 40% of students proficient or better in SAT Math and 80% proficient or better in ISA Science. In contrast, Brussels Grade School, with 40 students, has a more average statewide ranking but still meets or exceeds state averages in most areas.
Both schools have very low student-teacher ratios, with Brussels High School at 7.2 and Brussels Grade School at 8.6, well below state averages. However, the elementary school spends significantly more per student at $21,655, compared to $17,262 at the high school, which may warrant further investigation to understand the factors behind this difference.
