Summary

Olympia West Elementary School is a public elementary school in Minier, Illinois, serving 258 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Olympia CUSD 16 district, which is ranked 294 out of 811 districts in the state.

Olympia West Elementary consistently outperforms both the district and the state of Illinois in academic proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, 73.6% of Olympia West students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 62.2% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, 48.1% of Olympia West students were proficient, compared to 41.8% for the district and 38.5% for the state.

While Olympia West generally outperforms other schools in the Olympia CUSD 16 district, some nearby schools, such as Goodfield Elementary and Lincoln Elementary, have even higher academic performance. Olympia West also has a relatively high per-student spending of $12,811 and a low student-teacher ratio of 16.1, which may contribute to its strong academic results. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.0% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is an area of concern.
