Summary:
Elementary schools in Valmeyer CUSD 3 consist of one school, Valmeyer Elementary School, serving PK–5 and enrolling 152 students. Its most important result is that in 2025–26 it scored above the state in all three reported comparisons: all-grades ELA, all-grades math, and grade 5 science.
There is no second school to compare, so Valmeyer Elementary School is the only school-level standout, not a leader over local peers. Its strongest grade-level results were in grade 3: ELA proficiency was 76% versus 48% statewide, a 29-point advantage, and math was 67% versus 49%, an 18-point advantage. ELA was above the state in grades 4 and 5 as well, but by smaller margins: 7 points in grade 4 and 2 points in grade 5. The school’s all-grades margins over the state were about 9 points in both ELA and math (9.2 and 8.7 points, respectively), and about 10 points in grade 5 science.
Results improved markedly from 2024–25, when the school was below the state in all three comparisons: its all-grades ELA proficiency rose 23 percentage points, math rose 20 points, and grade 5 science rose 29 points. In 2025–26, the school’s rates were 66% in ELA, 48% in math, and 57% in science, compared with state rates of 56%, 40%, and 48%. SchoolDigger also raised its rating to the 70th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–26, from the 43rd percentile and 2 stars the year before. Other context: the student–teacher ratio was 11.4:1 in SY 2024–25, and 22% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; chronic absenteeism was 11% in SY 2025–26, below the district’s 14% and the state’s 24%.
