Summary

Prairieview-Ogden South Elementary serves 116 students in grades K–6 in Ogden, Illinois. The clearest headline is that the school’s 2025–2026 results were well above state proficiency rates: 71% in English language arts (ELA) versus 56% statewide, and 51% in math versus 40% statewide.

South’s results are strong against the state, but it is not the local leader. Among 10 nearby schools with reported all-grade results, South ranked third in ELA and fourth in math; St Joseph Elementary School had higher results in both subjects, and Prairieview-Ogden North Elementary was also ahead in both. Compared with Prairieview-Ogden CCSD 197, South was 8 points lower in ELA, while its math result was essentially even—51.2% versus 51.1%. Results vary by grade: third-grade ELA was 87%, while fifth-grade math was 38%, just 1 point above the state and equal to the district. Fifth-grade science was another positive, at 55%, 7 points above the state.

Scores and SchoolDigger’s statewide standing have improved overall. ELA proficiency rose from 36% in 2023–2024 to 71% in 2025–2026; math increased from 32% to 51%, though it eased slightly from the prior year. SchoolDigger ranked South at the 73rd percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 55th percentile two years earlier, but three nearby schools had higher latest rankings. In 2024–2025, South’s student-teacher ratio was 9.3:1, and 15% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; both figures provide context, not explanations for results. SchoolDigger’s group-specific rankings also show variation: South ranked at the 85th percentile for Male Students in 2024–2025, while its White Students ranking was at the 53rd percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 73rd percentile that year.
