Summary

Located in Durand, Illinois, Durand Elementary School serves prekindergarten through sixth grade and enrolls 281 students. Its 2025–26 all-grades results were above state and district levels in both English Language Arts (ELA) and math, but performance varied notably by grade: third grade stood out, while fifth-grade ELA and science were weaker. The most important takeaway is that strong overall results do not describe every grade equally well.

Overall, the school compares well with state and district results: 68% of students were proficient in ELA, 12 percentage points above the state and 1 point above Durand CUSD 322; in math, 53% were proficient, 13 points above the state and 8 points above the district. Among nearby schools with all-grades results, its ELA rate was above the average of 62%, and its math rate was about even with the 52% average. Grade-level results reveal a sharper contrast: third graders reached 91% proficiency in both subjects, the highest among nearby schools reporting third-grade results. Fifth-grade ELA was 52%, 3 points below the state and lower than all nearby reporting schools except Conklin Academy. Fifth-grade science was 41%, 6 points below the state and 9 points below the nearby-school average. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, and the latest science comparison covers fifth grade only.

ELA proficiency rose from 45% in 2023–24 to 68% in 2025–26 and held steady from the prior year; math climbed to 61% in 2024–25 before falling to 53%, still 13 points above its 2023–24 result. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 62nd percentile and awarded it 3 stars in 2025–26, down 16 percentile points from the previous year and 27 from its peak. Its SchoolDigger ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was notably higher, at the 92nd percentile, while its ranking for White Students was at the 35th percentile, down 24 points in a year. In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 11.2:1, and 48% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; in 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 10%, below both the district and nearby-school average. These figures describe school context, not causes of student results.
