Summary:
Elementary schools in Abingdon-Avon CUSD 276 consist of one school, Hedding Grade School, serving PK–4 and enrolling 376 students; its clearest result is mathematics proficiency 17 percentage points above the Illinois rate in 2025–26.
Hedding Grade School is the only school in the list, so there is no meaningful local school-to-school ranking. Its strongest result is math: 57% of students were proficient across all grades, compared with 40% statewide, and the school was above the state in both grade 3 (62% versus 49%) and grade 4 (51% versus 42%). ELA is the relative concern: 53% were proficient overall, 3 points below the state’s 56%; grade 3 was 4 points above the state, while grade 4 was 2 points below. The supplied 2024–25 fifth-grade science result was 47%, 7 points above the state.
Math results improved substantially: proficiency rose from 45.4% in 2024–25 to 56.9% in 2025–26, while the state rate rose from 38.5% to 39.6%; Hedding’s advantage widened from 7 points to 17 points. ELA edged up 0.2 points, but the state result rose faster, and Hedding’s shortfall widened from almost even with the state in 2024–25 to 3 points below in 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking fell from the 76th percentile in 2023–24 to the 55th in 2025–26, even as recent test scores rose. In 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 17%, below both the state’s 24% and the district’s 18%. For context, the school had an 11:1 student–teacher ratio and 62% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. With only one school represented, these figures do not support comparisons among local schools.
