Summary:

The Porta CUSD 202 district in Illinois has two elementary schools: Petersburg Elementary School and Porta Central. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade in the Porta CUSD 202 district.

Based on the data, Porta Central appears to be the standout school in the district. The school has consistently improved its statewide ranking over the past three years, moving from 1076 out of 2077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 877 out of 2056 in 2024-2025, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Porta Central also outperforms the district and state averages in several key test score metrics, including ELA proficiency for all grades and math proficiency in 3rd and 4th grades. Additionally, Porta Central has a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.7 compared to 14.2 at Petersburg Elementary.

While Petersburg Elementary has a higher spending per student at $15,646 compared to $13,492 at Porta Central, this higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. Both schools have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is an area of concern for the district. Additionally, Porta Central has a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 42.55%, compared to 36.44% at Petersburg Elementary, suggesting the district may need to consider equity-focused strategies to ensure all students have access to quality education.
