Summary

Caledonia Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Caledonia, Illinois, with an enrollment of 437 students. The school is part of the Belvidere CUSD 100 district, which is ranked 645 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Caledonia Elementary School consistently outperforms the Belvidere CUSD 100 district and the state of Illinois in standardized test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, 49.5% of Caledonia students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 37.1% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In math, 44.5% of Caledonia students were proficient or better, compared to 26.8% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with disabilities. However, Caledonia has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.5% in 2022-2023 to 25.6% in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby schools, Caledonia Elementary outperforms Lincoln Elementary and Seth Whitman Elementary, which are also part of the Belvidere CUSD 100 district. However, Caledonia lags behind the higher-performing Kinnikinnick School in the Kinnikinnick CCSD 131 district. Despite spending more per student than nearby schools, Caledonia's academic performance suggests that higher spending does not necessarily translate to higher academic achievement.
