Summary:
The 62060 zip code area in Illinois is home to 3 public schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Madison CUSD 12 district. However, the data reveals a concerning pattern of consistently low performance across these schools, with students struggling to meet state averages on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
None of the schools in the 62060 area can be considered standouts, as all three - Bernard Long Elementary School, Madison Senior High School, and Madison Junior High School - perform well below state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in the single digits for many grade levels and subject areas. The high school also struggles with a low 4-year graduation rate of just 62.8% and a high dropout rate of 10.8%.
Across the board, the schools in the 62060 zip code area face significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 52.3% to 62.6%) and serving a predominantly low-income student population (with free and reduced-price lunch rates of 93.62% to 100%). While per-student spending is relatively high, and student-teacher ratios are low, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for students. Addressing these systemic issues will require a comprehensive, district-wide strategy that targets both academic and non-academic barriers to student success.
