Summary:
The Kinnikinnick CCSD 131 district in Illinois is home to three elementary schools: Ledgewood Elementary School, Kinnikinnick School, and Stone Creek School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are located in the Kinnikinnick community.
Among the three schools, Kinnikinnick School stands out as the top performer, consistently scoring above the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. In the 2024-2025 school year, 67.1% of Kinnikinnick School students were proficient or better in ELA, and 54.4% were proficient or better in Math. The school maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 417th out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools. Stone Creek School also demonstrates strong performance, particularly in Math, with 64.1% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025.
However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, with all three schools reporting a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools have relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 26.52% to 31.72%, indicating that a significant portion of the student population may be facing socioeconomic challenges. The district could benefit from a focus on addressing these issues and fostering collaboration between the schools to share best practices and improve overall performance.
