Summary

Brimfield Grade School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Brimfield, Illinois, with 403 students. The school is part of the Brimfield CUSD 309 district, which is ranked 239 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brimfield Grade School consistently outperforms the state average on academic measures, with 54.7% of students proficient or better in ELA and 45.5% proficient or better in math, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school's higher spending per student, low chronic absenteeism rates, and favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 14.0 likely contribute to its strong performance. However, the school could focus on addressing performance gaps between student subgroups, such as the disparity between male and female students and between white students and low-income students.

Compared to nearby schools, Brimfield Grade School performs well, particularly in comparison to schools in the Dunlap CUSD 323 district, such as Ridgeview Elementary, Wilder-Waite Grade School, and Hickory Grove Elementary, which consistently outperform the state average and have higher rankings from SchoolDigger.
