Summary:
Capron has one elementary school, Capron Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 4. With only one school in the list, there is no school-to-school comparison, and the achievement trend covers just two years. The main takeaway is that in 2025–26 the school’s all-grade results were above Illinois averages in both subjects: ELA was 64% versus 56% statewide, an 8-point advantage, and math was 47% versus 40%, a 7-point advantage.
Capron Elementary School is both the top and bottom school in the area by default, but its grade-level results show clear standouts and a weak spot. Third-grade ELA was strongest at 67%, 19 points above the state’s 48%; fourth-grade math was 52%, 10 points above the state’s 42%. Third-grade math was the main concern: 42%, 8 points below the state’s 49% and 23 points below the North Boone CUSD 200 result of 65%. Fourth-grade ELA was 62%, 6 points above the state but 4 below the district.
Results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA rose 18 points, from 46% to 64%, and math rose 8 points, from 39% to 47%. The school went from 7 points below the state in ELA to 8 points above; in math, it moved from matching the state to 7 points above. Separately, SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 48 in 2023–24 to 49 in 2024–25 and 58 in 2025–26, while its star rating increased from 2 to 3. Other context: the student-teacher ratio was 13.6 in 2024–25, when 51% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–26 was 16%, compared with 20% in the district and 24% statewide.
