Summary:
The 62675 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Petersburg Elementary School and Porta Central) and 1 high school (Porta High School) - all part of the Porta CUSD 202 district. The data reveals a mix of strengths and challenges across these schools, with Porta Central standing out as a relatively high-performing elementary school.
Porta Central outperformed the district and state averages in several academic areas, including English Language Arts, Math, and Science. It ranked 973 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and earned a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Porta High School's performance lags behind the state averages in both Math and English Language Arts on standardized assessments, despite maintaining a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.8%.
The data also highlights socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student performance, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients (over 40% in two of the schools) suggesting the schools serve a population with significant economic challenges. Additionally, the schools face high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at Porta High School and Petersburg Elementary School, which could be negatively affecting student learning and achievement. Further investigation into the factors driving these differences could provide valuable insights to support improvement efforts across the schools in the 62675 zip code area.
