Summary

Stevenson Elementary School enrolls 299 students in grades K–5 in Bloomington, in Bloomington School District 87. In 2025–26, 51% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 38% in math; fifth-grade science proficiency was 29%. The strongest overall message is that ELA and math have improved substantially, but fifth-grade science is the clearest academic concern: Stevenson’s 29% was below both the state and district.

Compared with nearby K–5 schools, Stevenson’s all-grade ELA and math results were around the middle, ranking sixth of 10 in both subjects. ELA proficiency was 1 point below the nearby-school average, and math was 4 points below it. Both subjects were above district results—by 11 points in ELA and 12 in math—but remained below state results by 5 and 2 points, respectively. Fourth grade stood out as a strength: ELA proficiency was 11 points above the state, and math was 9 points above it. Fifth grade was weaker: ELA was 9 points below the state, math was 16 points below, and science was 19 points below. Stevenson’s science result was also below every nearby K–5 school’s reported result.

Results have risen sharply since 2023–24: ELA proficiency increased 35 points and math 26 points, narrowing the gaps with the state. SchoolDigger gives Stevenson a 36th-percentile statewide ranking and two stars for 2025–26; its percentile improved from 21 in 2023–24, though it slipped from 40 the following year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show stronger recent results for some groups: White students ranked at the 61st percentile in 2025–26, up 52 points since 2023–24, while Low Socio Economic Status students ranked at the 54th percentile, up 38 points. As context, 56% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, 16 points above the nearby-school average. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 8.7, the lowest among nearby K–5 schools with reported ratios, but that did not coincide with leading test results across subjects.
