Best Public Schools in Stockton, IL

The city of Stockton, Illinois is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Stockton Elementary School, Stockton Senior High School, and Stockton Middle School. These schools are part of the Stockton CUSD 206 district.

Among the three schools, Stockton Elementary School and Stockton Middle School stand out as top performers. Stockton Elementary consistently ranks in the top 20-25% of Illinois elementary schools, with a 4-star rating, and outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Similarly, Stockton Middle School is ranked in the top 20-25% of Illinois middle schools, also with a 4-star rating, and excels in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While the schools demonstrate strong academic performance, they face some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% across all three schools and a relatively high proportion of students (40-45%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic disadvantage in the community. Addressing these issues could lead to further improvements in student learning and achievement.
