Summary

Pinckneyville Elementary School in Pinckneyville, IL, serves 268 students from Pre-K through 4th grade in a rural setting and has achieved a remarkable turnaround from a struggling 1-star rating to a stable 3-star school over the past five years.

One of the school's standout features is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.2% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is far better than the state average of 25.4% and the lowest among nearby schools like Elverado Primary School (27.7%) and Du Quoin Elementary School (20.6%). This points to a strong culture of attendance and family engagement. Academically, the school achieves above-average test scores despite a moderate level of economic disadvantage, with 42.16% of students receiving free/reduced lunch. For example, Pinckneyville's ELA proficiency (57.5%) far exceeds that of Steeleville Elementary School (39.4%), and its Math proficiency (50.9%) is nearly double that of Community Cons School (28.5%). The school also excels at supporting its low socioeconomic status students, who ranked in the 77th percentile statewide in 2022-2023, showing a strong commitment to closing opportunity gaps.

Pinckneyville's efficient use of resources is notable, with per-student spending of $11,890—the lowest among nearby schools with available data—yet it achieves better results than neighbors spending significantly more, such as Coulterville Elementary School ($14,730) and Elverado Intermediate School ($15,242). While Sesser-Valier Elementary School (17 miles away) is a high-performing outlier with a 4-star rating, Pinckneyville comfortably outperforms most of its immediate neighbors, including struggling schools like Trico Elementary School (2-star, 25.6% math proficiency). This combination of strong attendance, academic growth, and cost-effective operations makes Pinckneyville a compelling choice for families in the Pinckneyville School District 50.
