Summary

Frohardt Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Granite City, Illinois, serving grades 3-4 with a total enrollment of 418 students. The school is part of the Granite City CUSD 9 district, which is ranked 784 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frohardt Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Illinois elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 1402 and 1747 out of over 2,000 schools. The school has maintained a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period. Academically, Frohardt underperforms compared to the state and its own district in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency, with only 24.7% of students proficient or better in ELA and 21% proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 44.8% to 46.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

While the performance of Frohardt Elementary School is concerning, it is important to note that the other elementary schools in the Granite City CUSD 9 district also perform poorly compared to state averages, suggesting systemic challenges within the district. However, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Kreitner Elementary (Collinsville CUSD 10) and James Avant Elementary (East St. Louis School District 189), demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, despite serving similarly disadvantaged student populations.
