Summary

Carlyle Elementary School serves pre-K through grade 4 in Carlyle, Illinois, and enrolls 364 students. In 2025–26, 65% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 57% in math. The school’s clearest strength is math: it scored above both the state and Carlyle CUSD 1, while its ELA result was above the state but below the district.

Among nearby schools with reported 2025–26 all-grades scores, the school ranked fifth of nine in ELA and fifth of eight in math; these comparisons include schools serving different grade spans. Its grade 3 and 4 results were above state figures in both subjects, though nearby schools such as Aviston Elementary School and Germantown Elementary School often had higher results in the same grades. Absenteeism is worth watching: 19% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, below the state’s 24% but above every nearby school with a reported rate, which ranged from 1% to 18%.

Results have improved overall, especially in math: proficiency rose from 35% in 2023–24 to 57% in 2025–26, and the school’s lead over the state widened from 7 to 17 percentage points. ELA rose from 51% to 65% over that period, though its lead over the state narrowed from 10 to 8 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 68th statewide percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, up from the 63rd percentile the prior year. Its student-teacher ratio was 13.6 in 2024–25, and 53% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves White students showed a 37th-percentile standing, compared with the school’s overall 68th percentile. Male students were at the 53rd percentile, down from the 73rd in 2023–24 and below the school overall.
