Best Public Schools in Zip Code 60804

Summary:

The 15 schools located in the 60804 zip code area of Cicero, Illinois serve students from elementary through high school, with 11 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area face significant challenges, including low academic performance, high levels of economic disadvantage, and chronic absenteeism, a few standout schools are outperforming their peers.

Abe Lincoln Elementary School and Sherlock Elementary School are the highest-performing elementary schools, with 27.7% and 26.9% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, respectively. These schools also have the highest Science proficiency rates in the area. Among the middle schools, Cicero East Elementary School and Columbus East Elementary School stand out, with 25.4% and 25.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts.

However, the overall performance of schools in the 60804 zip code area is well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. The J Sterling Morton East High School has a 79.5% four-year graduation rate and a 7.0% dropout rate, both of which are worse than the state averages. Addressing the significant challenges faced by these schools, including high rates of economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism, will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach by the J S Morton HSD 201 and Cicero School District 99.
