Best Public Schools in Astoria, IL

Summary:

The city of Astoria, Illinois is home to three schools serving grades K-12: Astoria Elementary School, Astoria High School, and Astoria Junior High School. These schools operate under the Astoria CUSD 1 district.

Among the three schools, Astoria Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking in the top 50% of Illinois elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels in 5th-grade science, ELA, and math proficiency, outpacing district and state averages. In contrast, Astoria High School struggles with low proficiency rates, particularly in math, and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois high schools.

Across the district, the schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and significant socioeconomic factors, as evidenced by the high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients. While the relatively low student-teacher ratios suggest class size is not a limiting factor, addressing attendance issues and providing targeted support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds could be key focus areas for improvement in the Astoria school system.
