Summary
Edna Rollins Elementary School is a K–5 school in Aurora, Illinois, with 508 students in Aurora East Unified School District 131, among several nearby elementary schools serving the Aurora area. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results were below state and district levels in every reported subject: ELA was 19%, compared with 56% statewide and 28% districtwide; math was 14%, versus 40% and 17%; and fifth-grade science was 20%, versus 48% and 29%. The most important finding is that proficiency remains well below state levels even in math, the school’s strongest subject relative to its district and the state.
Compared with nearby schools, the picture is more mixed: Rollins was near the middle in all-grades ELA, above the peer average in math, and among the lower results in fifth-grade science. Among seven nearby schools with reported all-grades scores, its ELA result was about 1 point above the 18% average; its math result was about 2 points above the 12% average and just below the highest score. Its fifth-grade science result was third-lowest among nine nearby schools with reported results. Grade-level results also vary: fifth-grade ELA was close to the district result, while third-grade math was 7 points below the district. C I Johnson Elementary School is a striking nearby contrast: its fifth-grade ELA and science results were 83% and 85%, compared with 26% and 20% at Rollins.
Recent results show the state gaps widening: ELA fell from 20% in 2024–2025 to 19% in 2025–2026 as the state rose from 53% to 56%; math changed little, while the state improved, and the state gap grew from 24 to 25 points. SchoolDigger ranks Rollins 1,716th of 1,737 statewide, in the 1st percentile, with zero stars; its percentile was 10 the prior year. As context, its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 19.5, the second-highest among nearby schools, and 70% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the highest nearby rate. These are context measures, not explanations for school results. Chronic absenteeism was 24% in 2025–2026, close to the state’s 24% and below the district’s 34%.
