Summary:

Breese Education Service District 12 has two schools serving PK–8: Beckemeyer Elementary School serves PK–2, and Breese Elementary School serves grades 3–8. The strongest supplied achievement result is Breese’s 2025–2026 English language arts (ELA) score: 81%, compared with 56% statewide, a 25-point advantage.

Breese stands out in ELA, while its all-grades math lead over the state is smaller: 51% versus 40%, or 11 points. Math also has a clear exception: fifth grade scored 29%, 7 points below the state, while sixth grade reached 58%, 22 points above. No achievement comparison between the schools is possible because scores are supplied for Breese but not Beckemeyer. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was below the state’s 24% at both schools: 10% at Breese and 7% at Beckemeyer.

Recent results are mixed: Breese’s ELA score rose 3 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while its math score fell 3 points and its advantage over the state narrowed by 4 points. Science improved: fifth-grade results rose 19 points and eighth-grade results rose 8 points; both grades were above the state in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Breese fell from the 88th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 82nd in 2025–2026. For context, in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 35% at Breese and 34% at Beckemeyer; student–teacher ratios were 16.2 and 15.6, respectively. These figures describe school context, not the cause of test results.
