Summary

Illini Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fairview Heights, Illinois, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 334 students. The school is part of the Grant CCSD 110 district, which is ranked 616 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Illini Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics, is consistently below the state and district averages across all grades and years. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 43.6% of Illini Elementary students were proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts, compared to 48.8% for the district and 53.1% for the state. Similarly, only 34.2% of Illini Elementary students were proficient or better in IAR/Mathematics, compared to 20% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively better performance for African American students but struggles with the performance of White students, Special Education students, and Low Socio-Economic Status students.

Illini Elementary School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 28.6% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Wolf Branch Elementary School and Dawn Elser Elementary School, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, Illini Elementary School performs better than some of the more disadvantaged schools in the area, such as Katie Harper-Wright Elementary, which has very low proficiency rates and high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.
