Summary:
Delavan CUSD 703 has one listed elementary school, Delavan Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through sixth grade and enrolling 191 students. There is no second school in the area data to compare against, so the most useful comparisons are with district and Illinois results and the school’s own earlier scores. In 2025–2026, all-grades ELA proficiency was 50% and math was 35%, both below Illinois results of 56% and 40%; the key finding is that both subjects improved substantially over the prior year, but neither has yet reached the state level.
Grade-level results show some brighter spots alongside clear areas of need. Fourth-grade ELA was above the state result by 2 points (57.7% versus 55.8%), and sixth-grade math was 4 points above (40% versus 36%); fifth-grade science was also 3 points above (50% versus 48%). By contrast, fifth- and sixth-grade ELA were 9 points below the state, and fourth-grade math was 4 points below. Overall, the school was 7 points below the state in ELA and 4 points below in math, though it exceeded the district figures by 1 point in ELA and 3 points in math. Chronic absenteeism was 14%, lower than the district’s 16% and the state’s 24%.
Scores rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: all-grades ELA gained 9 points, from 41% to 50%, and math gained 10 points, from 25% to 35%. Because state results rose more slowly, the school’s shortfall narrowed by 6 points in ELA and 9 points in math. Fifth-grade science improved by 11 points, moving from 1 point below the state to 3 points above. SchoolDigger’s percentile increased from 33 in 2023–2024 to 41 in 2025–2026; it reports a rank of 1,018 out of 1,737 schools and 2 stars for 2025–2026. Context figures include an 8.9 student–teacher ratio and 38% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. With only one school listed, these figures cannot establish how school characteristics relate to results.
