Summary:
The Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Education Service District 2C in Illinois is home to two schools: Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Elementary School and Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Middle School. While the elementary school has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking and academic performance, the middle school has experienced a decline, indicating a need for targeted strategies to address the unique challenges at the middle school level.
The Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Elementary School has made significant progress, moving from 874th out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 613th out of 2,056 in 2024-2025, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, the elementary school outperformed the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency for all grades, as well as for 3rd and 4th grade specifically. This suggests that the school is implementing effective strategies to support student learning.
In contrast, the Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Middle School has experienced a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 440th out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools in 2022-2023 to 760th out of 1,368 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The middle school's ELA proficiency for all grades (48.9%) was slightly below the district (52%) and state (53.1%) averages, and its Mathematics proficiency for all grades (21.2%) was notably lower than the district (31.8%) and state (38.5%) averages in 2024-2025. This indicates a need for the school to re-evaluate its instructional approaches and support systems for middle school students.
