Summary

Gallatin Elementary School in Junction, IL, serves 314 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the Gallatin CUSD 7 district, which has shown a strong upward trajectory over the past decade.

Gallatin Elementary stands out for its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) performance, with 4th graders achieving a 62.7% proficiency rate—well above the state average of 51.2% and higher than nearby schools like West Side Primary School and Norris City-Omaha Elementary School. The school has also made a dramatic improvement in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 43.8% in 2021-2022 to just 17.0% in 2024-2025—the lowest rate among comparable schools in the area, including Hardin County Elementary School (33.5%) and Carrier Mills-Stonefort Elementary School (18.7%). Additionally, the school excels with its low socio-economic status students, who rank in the 63rd percentile statewide, outperforming the school's overall ranking.

However, there are areas for improvement. Mathematics performance is a relative weakness, with 4th-grade math proficiency at 36%, below the state average of 42.5% and significantly lower than Eldorado Elementary School's 48.9%. The school also faces a significant performance gap among student subgroups, with Special Education and Disabled students ranking in the 0th and 3rd percentiles, respectively—a sharp decline from previous years. While Gallatin spends $13,935 per student and maintains a low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.2:1, these resources have not yet translated into consistent results across all areas, particularly in math and for certain student populations.
