Summary

Spring Grove Elementary School enrolls 327 students in pre-K through grade 5 in Spring Grove, Illinois, and is part of Nippersink School District 2. Its clearest distinction is achievement: Spring Grove’s reported 2025–26 proficiency results are above both state and district results in every tested subject, and it leads nearby schools in all-grade ELA and math.

Spring Grove is strongest in math compared with the state and district: 63% of students were proficient, versus 40% statewide and 46% districtwide. ELA proficiency was 71%, compared with 56% statewide and 67% districtwide. Among nearby schools with results in both subjects, Spring Grove leads the next-highest school by 9 points in ELA and 5 points in math; Hilltop Elementary School is next in math, and Richmond Grade School is next in ELA. Third grade is a particular high point, with 82% proficient in ELA and 84% in math. Grade 5 math is lower at 48%, though it remains above state and district results. Grade 5 science is another strength: 73% proficient, 25 points above the state and 9 above the district; Spring Grove leads nearby Richmond Grade School by 14 points in that comparison.

Math proficiency rose from 45% in 2023–24 to 63% in 2025–26, while Spring Grove’s lead over the state widened from 16 to 24 points. ELA rose from 58% to 71% over the same period, but dipped from its 2024–25 peak of 75%. SchoolDigger ranks Spring Grove 340th of 1,737 schools statewide in 2025–26, at the 80th percentile with 4 stars—the highest nearby ranking among schools with reported data. Chronic absenteeism was 9%, close to the district’s 9% and below the state’s 24%; the student-teacher ratio is 12.2:1, around the middle of nearby schools. In 2024–25, 25% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; only Richmond had a lower reported nearby rate. One subgroup result stands out: SchoolDigger’s Female Students measure fell from the 82nd percentile in 2024–25 to the 66th in 2025–26, while the overall school percentile moved from 83 to 80, a notable decline in the school’s measured standing for that group.
