Summary:
The 61846 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Georgetown-Ridge Farm CUD 4 district. While the schools show some pockets of strong academic performance, the district as a whole faces challenges, with low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and resource constraints.
Mary Miller Junior High School stands out with the highest English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates across all grades, particularly in 8th grade where 54.4% of students are proficient or better. However, the school struggles with low math proficiency. In contrast, Georgetown-Ridge Farm High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 81%, but its test scores are relatively low, with only 18.2% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT ELA and 12.7% in SAT Mathematics.
Across the district, academic performance is generally lower than state averages, with Pine Crest Elementary School having the lowest proficiency rates at 25.2% in ELA and 10.7% in Mathematics. High rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 24.9% to 33.3%, may be contributing to these challenges. The district's overall ranking of 666 out of 813 in Illinois and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest broader systemic issues that need to be addressed to improve educational outcomes for students in the 61846 zip code area.
