Summary:
The 61537 zip code in Illinois is home to two schools: Henry-Senachwine Grade School and Henry-Senachwine High School, both part of the Henry-Senachwine CUSD 5 district. These schools are performing significantly below the state averages on standardized tests, with low statewide rankings and high chronic absenteeism rates.
The elementary school, Henry-Senachwine Grade School, has a statewide ranking between 1,133 and 1,292 out of over 2,000 Illinois elementary schools, and its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are well below the state averages. The high school, Henry-Senachwine High School, is also struggling, with a statewide ranking between 343 and 527 out of around 700 Illinois high schools, and its SAT performance is significantly lower than the state averages.
Both schools have a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that they serve a population with significant economic challenges. The spending per student is also higher at the high school compared to the elementary school, but the overall low performance of both schools suggests that the funding may not be effectively utilized. The student-teacher ratios are relatively low, but this does not appear to be translating into better educational outcomes for the students. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the educational opportunities for the students in this community.
