Summary:

The city of Spring Grove, Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Spring Grove Elementary School and Lotus School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade and are operated by the Nippersink School District 2 and the Fox Lake GSD 114 districts, respectively.

Based on the available data, Spring Grove Elementary School emerges as the standout performer, ranking in the top 17% of Illinois elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Lotus School is ranked in the bottom 37% of schools statewide and has a 2-star rating, indicating below-average performance. Spring Grove Elementary School significantly outperforms Lotus School and the state averages on standardized tests, with 75.2% of its students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 37.2% at Lotus School and the state average of 53.1%.

While Lotus School spends more per student ($20,913) than Spring Grove Elementary School ($16,586), this higher funding does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes. Both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be an area of concern that needs to be addressed to improve overall performance.
