Summary:

The city of Marseilles, Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Marseilles Elementary School and Milton Pope Elementary School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 8th grade and are part of the Marseilles Education Service District 150 and Miller Township CCSD 210 districts.

Based on the available data, Milton Pope Elementary School appears to be the standout school in the area. It ranks significantly higher statewide compared to Marseilles Elementary, with a ranking of 707 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 versus Marseilles Elementary's rank of 1,419. Milton Pope also outperforms Marseilles Elementary in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with 51.6% and 43.5% of students proficient or better, respectively, compared to 28.1% and 25.8% at Marseilles Elementary. Additionally, Milton Pope has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While Marseilles Elementary has higher spending per student at $18,770 compared to $17,482 at Milton Pope, the data suggests that this additional funding has not translated into stronger academic outcomes. In fact, Marseilles Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped from 1,675 in 2023-2024 to 1,419 in 2024-2025, and its proficiency rates have declined in many subject areas over that time period, indicating that the school may be struggling to improve student achievement.
