Summary:
The 62515 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Tri City CUSD 1 district. Among these schools, Tri-City Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools and outpacing state and district averages on standardized tests. In contrast, the middle and high schools, while still performing reasonably well, lag behind the elementary school in academic metrics.
Across the 3 schools, there is notable variation in per-student spending, ranging from $7,632 at the elementary level to over $13,000 at the secondary level. This discrepancy may be an area worth exploring in terms of resource allocation and potential equity concerns. Additionally, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 36-44%, suggest a student population facing significant economic disadvantages, which could be an important factor to consider when analyzing the schools' performance and resource needs.
The high school's 4-year graduation rate of 81.3% is respectable but could potentially be improved, while the 3.6% dropout rate may warrant further examination and targeted interventions. Overall, this data set provides a comprehensive look at the schools in the 62515 zip code area, highlighting both areas of strength, such as the standout performance of Tri-City Elementary School, as well as potential opportunities for improvement across the Tri City CUSD 1 district.
