Best Public Schools in Zip Code 62806

Summary:

The 62806 zip code area is home to two schools - Albion Grade School, an elementary school, and Edwards County High School. While Albion Grade School consistently ranks in the top half of Illinois elementary schools and excels in English Language Arts, Edwards County High School has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking and struggles with low SAT performance, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism.

Albion Grade School stands out with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong performance in English Language Arts, with 55% of students proficient or better across all grades, compared to the state average of 41.2%. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.6% is an area for improvement. In contrast, Edwards County High School has experienced a significant drop in its statewide ranking, from 193 out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2021-2022 to 395 out of 697 in 2023-2024. The school also struggles with low SAT performance, with only 16.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics and 18.4% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 26.1% and 31.1%, respectively.

Both schools serve communities with a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with Albion Grade School at 48.17% and Edwards County High School at 40.84%. This suggests that these communities may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement. The differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios between the two schools may also contribute to the observed performance differences, indicating variations in resource allocation and funding.
