Summary:
The city of Ogden, Illinois has one elementary school, Prairieview-Ogden South Elementary, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. The school is part of the Prairieview-Ogden CCSD 197 district.
Prairieview-Ogden South Elementary has seen fluctuating performance on state assessments over the past few years. In 2024-2025, the school had 53.1% of students proficient or better in both ELA and Math, which was on par with the state average but below the district average. The school's performance was particularly strong in 3rd grade ELA and Math, with 66.7% proficiency in both subjects, outpacing the district and state. However, the school struggled in 4th grade, with only 27.3% proficiency in both ELA and Math, well below the district and state. Science proficiency for 5th graders was 57.7%, higher than the state average of 40.6%.
The school has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 15.56% in 2023-2024. It spends $12,328 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 10.6, indicating a relatively low class size. These resource allocations suggest a focus on supporting student learning, but the inconsistent academic performance across grade levels and subject areas indicates a need for further evaluation of instructional practices and targeted interventions to address the disparities.
