Summary:
The 60064 zip code area in North Chicago, Illinois is home to 5 schools serving grades K-12, all part of the North Chicago School District 187. While the district as a whole struggles with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism, one school stands out - LEARN 10 Charter School.
LEARN 10 Charter School outperforms the district and state averages across multiple metrics, including higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate and the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to the other schools in the area. In contrast, the other district schools, including North Chicago Community High School, struggle with very low proficiency rates on state assessments, well below the state averages.
The stark performance gap between LEARN 10 Charter School and the other district schools is noteworthy, as LEARN 10 appears to be providing a significantly better educational experience for its students despite serving a population with a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. However, the high chronic absenteeism rates across the district, ranging from 27.1% to 51.9%, are a major concern that likely contribute to the low academic performance. Addressing the systemic challenges facing the North Chicago School District will require a multi-faceted approach focused on improving attendance, instructional quality, and resource management.
