Rossville-Alvin CUSD 7

Rossville-Alvin CUSD 7 has two listed schools serving PK–12: an elementary school for PK–8 and a high school for grades 9–12, with 409 students combined. The clearest achievement finding is that the elementary school’s latest all-grades math result remains below Illinois, while its ELA result is close to the state.

Rossville-Alvin Elementary School stands out for science: in 2025–2026, its grade 5 result was 9 percentage points above the state, and its grade 8 result was 2 points above. ELA was uneven by grade, ranging from 10 points below the state in grade 6 to 16 points above in grade 7; all-grades ELA was about 1 point below the state. Math is the clearest shortfall: all-grades proficiency was 30%, compared with 40% statewide, a 10-point gap. The high school has no test scores in the supplied data, so achievement cannot be compared between the two schools; their reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures are also from different years.

Results improved relative to the state in each reported subject comparison over time. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the elementary school’s all-grades ELA score rose from 48% to 56%, narrowing its gap with the state from 5 points to 1; math rose from 25% to 30%, narrowing the gap from 14 points to 10. Its SchoolDigger ranking also improved, moving from 1,372nd of 2,067 schools (34th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024 to 832nd of 1,737 (52nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, the elementary school had a student–teacher ratio of 15 and 58% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the high school’s reported figure was 45% in 2021–2022. Chronic absenteeism at the elementary school was 29% in 2025–2026, 6 points above the state’s 24%.
