Summary

John A Renfro Elementary School serves 498 pre-K through grade 4 students in Collinsville and is part of Collinsville CUSD 10, which SchoolDigger ranks 619th of 738 Illinois districts, in the 16th percentile with one star. In 2025–26, about 36% of Renfro students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 32% in math. The most important concern is that proficiency was well below the state average in both subjects, particularly in ELA.

Renfro’s relative strength is math: its result was 3 points above the district average, though 8 points below the state average. ELA was weaker, falling 9 points short of the district and 21 points short of the state. Among six nearby schools in the same district, Renfro had the second-lowest ELA result and third-lowest math result; its scores were 10 points below the group’s average in ELA and 7 points below it in math. The ELA weakness was especially clear in fourth grade: Renfro’s 40% proficiency was the lowest among seven same-district schools with results. Its fourth-grade math result was higher than those at Kreitner Elementary School and Twin Echo Elementary School, but below other reporting peers.

Results have improved over three years but declined in the latest one: from 2023–24 to 2025–26, ELA rose from 21% to 36% and math from 17% to 32%, while both fell from the prior year. SchoolDigger’s overall statewide percentile dropped from 41 to 16, and its current rating is one star. Renfro’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 14, below the nearby-school average of 14.9, but that did not coincide with stronger test results. In 2024–25, 66% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, near the middle among nearby schools with this measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for how well it serves female students fell from 43 to 5 between 2024–25 and 2025–26; its percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from 42 to 6.
