Best Public Schools in Fairview Heights, IL

Summary:

The city of Fairview Heights, Illinois is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools (William Holliday Elementary School and Illini Elementary School) and 2 middle schools (Grant Middle School and Pontiac Junior High School). The schools serve students from the Pontiac-W Holliday School District 105 and the Grant CCSD 110 districts.

Among the standout schools, Illini Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as a relatively lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Grant Middle School has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and the lowest student-teacher ratio among the middle schools. Pontiac Junior High School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from a 4-star rating to a 3-star rating.

However, the data also reveals some challenges across the district. All schools have a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average, and the schools generally perform below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Additionally, the schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. These insights suggest that the Fairview Heights school district may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and there are opportunities for improvement through targeted strategies and interventions.
