Summary:
The city of Villa Grove, Illinois is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Villa Grove Elementary School, Villa Grove High School, and Villa Grove Junior High School. These schools are part of the Villa Grove CUSD 302 district, which is ranked 367 out of 811 districts in Illinois and rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Among the three schools, Villa Grove High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 192 out of 697 Illinois high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a strong 89.0% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.4% dropout rate. Villa Grove Junior High School also excels, outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency for both 7th and 8th grades.
While the schools generally perform at or above the state average in various metrics, they face some challenges. All three schools have a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Villa Grove Elementary School lags behind in mathematics proficiency, particularly in the upper elementary grades, an area that the district may need to address. The relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 45.54% to 58.13%, also suggest that the district may have a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, and ensuring equitable access to resources and support for these students could be an important consideration.
