Best Public Schools in Zip Code 62702

Summary:

The 62702 zip code area of Springfield, Illinois is home to 7 schools, including 6 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Springfield School District 186. While the district as a whole is ranked 675 out of 813 in Illinois and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few schools in this area stand out.

Enos Elementary School and Wilcox Elementary School are the highest-ranked elementary schools in the area, both rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger and performing better than their peers in English Language Arts and Science proficiency. In contrast, the other elementary schools, such as McClernand Elementary, struggle with lower academic performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism.

The data also reveals significant challenges for the schools in this area, including low graduation rates and high dropout rates at Lanphier High School, as well as high poverty levels across all the schools, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 60% to 79%. These factors likely contribute to the academic achievement gaps observed between the schools and the district/state averages, underscoring the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
