Summary:
The 62206 zip code area in Illinois is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Cahokia CUSD 187 district. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as these schools consistently perform poorly across a range of metrics compared to state averages.
There are no clear standout schools in the area, as all institutions struggle with low proficiency rates on standardized tests and high rates of chronic absenteeism. The best-performing school appears to be Estelle Sauget School of Choice, which had the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science, but its performance is still well below state averages. Graduation rates at Cahokia High School are only 55.2%, and its dropout rate is more than double the state average at 10.9%.
Across the district, proficiency rates on state assessments are extremely low, with only 1.8% of 11th graders at Cahokia High School proficient in ELA and 0% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 31.1% and 26.1% respectively. Chronic absenteeism rates are also very high, ranging from 48.9% at Huffman Elementary to 64.4% at Cahokia High School. These systemic challenges suggest the need for significant and sustained efforts to improve educational outcomes for students in the 62206 zip code area.
