Summary

Hedding Grade School serves 376 students in pre-K through grade 4 in Abingdon, Illinois, as part of Abingdon-Avon CUSD 276. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and a statewide rank at the 55th percentile; the district ranks 418th of 738, at the 43rd percentile. The clearest finding is that math is a standout: Hedding had the highest all-grades math proficiency among nearby schools with reported results.

In 2025–2026, 57% of Hedding students were proficient in math, compared with 40% statewide and 48% in the district; its result was 22 points above the nearby-school average. ELA is the clearest gap against larger benchmarks: 53% were proficient, 3 points below the state and 11 below the district. Still, that was the second-highest result among nearby schools with scores and 15 points above their average. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so comparisons are not perfectly matched.

Scores have risen, but Hedding’s statewide standing has slipped from its recent peak. From 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, math proficiency rose 14 points, while ELA rose 6 points as the state’s ELA result rose 15; Hedding’s SchoolDigger percentile fell from 76 to 55 over that period, after reaching 60 in 2024–2025. Attendance improved: chronic absenteeism fell from 36% in 2021–2022 to 17% in 2025–2026, 6 points below the state and 1 below the district. In 2024–2025, Hedding had 11.0 students per teacher, compared with a nearby-school average of 13.7, and 62% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well Hedding serves male students was at the 29th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 78th percentile in 2023–2024, versus the school’s overall 55th percentile.
