Summary

West Carroll Primary serves 432 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Savanna, a community in northwest Illinois, and is part of West Carroll CUSD 314. Its results are mixed: math proficiency is above state and district levels, but ELA and fifth-grade science are weaker. The most important finding is a sharp grade-level split: third graders scored 61% in ELA and 63% in math, compared with 43% and 33%, respectively, for fifth graders.

Math is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state and district: 43% of students were proficient, compared with 40% statewide and 33% in the district. But the nearby-school average was 52%, and only one nearby school scored lower. ELA proficiency was 49%, below the state’s 56%, the district’s 51%, and every nearby school, where results ranged from 50% to 68%. Fifth-grade science was also a concern: 41% were proficient, below the state’s 48%, equal to the district, and below nearby schools, which ranged from 52% to 64%.

Results have improved over time: ELA rose 25 percentage points from 2023–24 to 2025–26, narrowing its gap with the state from 17 points to 7; math rose 16 points over the same period. SchoolDigger’s school ranking improved from the 34th percentile to the 40th and is now rated 2 stars, but remains near the bottom of the nearby group. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 15.0 in 2024–25—the highest among nearby schools—and 56% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year, also the highest nearby share. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings suggest notably different results in serving student groups: the school ranked at the 60th percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students, 20 points above its overall percentile, while its ranking for White Students was at the 16th percentile, 24 points below overall.
