Summary:
Nauvoo-Colusa CUSD 325 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of Nauvoo. The district has only one school, Nauvoo Elementary School, which provides education for students from preschool through 8th grade.
Nauvoo Elementary School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 995 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1,220 out of 2,077 in 2022-2023. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with students outperforming the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) but underperforming in Mathematics. However, the school's science proficiency rates were above the state average for both 5th and 8th grade in 2024-2025. The school serves a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 53.09% in 2023-2024, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school.
Despite the school's resource allocation, with a per-student spending of $18,370 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.4, the school has faced challenges with chronic absenteeism, which reached 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving student engagement and school climate to address the high absenteeism rates and support student learning outcomes.
