Summary:
The East Peoria School District 86 in Illinois is home to six elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools include Don D Shute Elementary, Woodrow Wilson Elementary, Armstrong-Oakview Elementary, Glendale Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and P.L. Bolin Elementary.
Among the six elementary schools, P.L. Bolin Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the district. It has consistently ranked among the top 25% of elementary schools in Illinois, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. P.L. Bolin's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly higher than the district and state averages. Another standout school is Glendale Elementary, which has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking and has test scores that are generally higher than the district averages, particularly in 5th-grade Science.
However, the data also reveals some challenges faced by the schools in the East Peoria School District 86. The district as a whole has a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, there is a significant disparity in test scores between the top-performing school (P.L. Bolin) and the lower-performing schools (Lincoln and Glendale), suggesting opportunities for the district to learn from the practices and strategies employed at the highest-performing school.
