Based on the available data, these schools appear to be performing below average compared to state-wide metrics, with low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and below-average graduation rates.

North Clay Elementary/Junior High School is ranked 1248 out of 2067 Illinois elementary schools and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 49.74%, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. North Clay Community High School is ranked 486 out of 697 Illinois high schools and also rated 2 out of 5 stars.

Overall, the schools in the 62858 zip code area face significant challenges in providing quality education to their students.
