Summary

Eldorado Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 536 students in grades PK-5 in Eldorado, Illinois. The school is part of the Eldorado CUSD 4 district, which is ranked 573 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eldorado Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with rankings ranging from 1,038 out of 2,056 schools in 2024-2025 to 1,796 out of 2,082 schools in 2021-2022. The school has maintained a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. While the school performs relatively well for special education students, homeless students, and low socioeconomic status students, it struggles with White students and male students, ranking in the bottom half of Illinois schools for these groups. Additionally, Eldorado Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.1% to 33.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools like East Side Elementary School, Thompsonville Grade School, and Gallatin Elementary School, Eldorado Elementary School's performance is generally lower, with these schools tending to have higher rankings, better test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The school's high per-student spending of $14,527 in 2023-2024 does not seem to be translating into better academic performance, suggesting the need for a closer look at resource allocation and utilization to support student learning.
