Hutsonville CUSD 1 has one listed elementary school, Hutsonville Elementary and Junior High School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8 and enrolling 190 students. With no other listed schools in the area, the most useful comparisons are with Illinois results. The clearest strength is science: in 2025–26, grade 5 proficiency was 81%, versus 48% statewide, a 34-point advantage; grade 8 was 73%, versus 52%, a 21-point advantage.
There is no local school leader or trailer to compare, but results vary by subject and grade relative to the state. In 2025–26, grade 8 ELA was a standout at 87%, compared with 63% statewide, and grade 6 was 74% versus 59%. All-grades ELA was 54%, just 2 points below the state’s 56%. The weakest current comparison is all-grades math: 34% proficient, 5 points below the state’s 40%. Grade-level ELA is not uniformly strong: grade 4 was 55%, 1 point below the state, while grade 5 was 59%, 4 points above.
Results have moved in different directions over time. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, all-grades ELA rose from 38% to 54%, narrowing the gap with the state from 15 points below to 2 points below; math fell from 43% to 34%, shifting from 5 points above the state to 5 points below. SchoolDigger’s ranking rose from the 42nd percentile in 2023–24 to the 63rd percentile in 2025–26, and it lists the school at four stars. As context, chronic absenteeism in 2025–26 was 15%, below the district’s 18% and the state’s 24%; the student-teacher ratio is 9:1, and 52% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. These context measures do not explain achievement, and the single-school list does not support school-to-school comparisons.
