Summary

Mitchell Elementary School serves 413 students in kindergarten through grade 6 in Granite City, Illinois, in Granite City CUSD 9. In 2025–26, 36% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 17% in math, and 44% in fifth-grade science. The key takeaway is that science is a local bright spot, while math is Mitchell’s biggest gap compared with the state: science was the highest reported among nearby district schools, but math proficiency was 23 points below the statewide rate.

Compared with nearby district schools, Mitchell’s results vary by subject: it ranked third of six in ELA, with 36% proficiency versus a 29% average among the other five, and fourth of six in math, at 17% versus their 16% average. Science was stronger: Mitchell’s 44% was 17 points above the district’s 28%, though 3 points below the state’s 48%. It topped nearby schools with reported science results; Wilson Elementary School was next at 33%. ELA was 7 points above the district rate but 20 points below the state rate. At grade level, fifth-grade ELA was another local strength: Mitchell’s 39% was the highest among six district schools, while fourth-grade math was 15%, below the district and each nearby school with a reported score.

ELA has improved steadily, rising from 16% in 2023–24 to 36% in 2025–26; its gap with the state narrowed by 5 points, from 25 to 20. Math rose overall from 13% to 17% but fell 5 points in the latest year, while its state gap widened by 7 points. SchoolDigger placed Mitchell at the 15th percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, third-highest among the six local schools but below its 17th-percentile standing the year before. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 14.7, the lowest among those peers. In 2024–25, 71% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was notably higher: the 40th percentile in 2025–26, compared with 15th overall.
