Summary

Illini Bluffs Elementary School serves students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Glasford, Illinois, and enrolls 425 students, the largest enrollment among the nearby schools compared. Its clearest academic strengths are fifth-grade ELA and science, while math—especially fifth-grade math—is the weaker area relative to the state and district.

In 2025–2026, the school’s all-grade ELA proficiency was 63%, above the state’s 56% but below the Illini Bluffs CUSD 327 result of 70%; math was 44%, above the state’s 40% and just below the district’s 45%. Fifth-grade science stood out at 71%, 23 points above the state and third among six nearby schools with results. Fifth-grade ELA was another high point: 82% proficiency, 28 points above the same-grade state result, and higher than four of the six nearby schools with results. In contrast, fifth-grade math was 35%, about 1 point below the state. Across nearby schools, Illini Bluffs ranked fifth of 11 for all-grade ELA and fifth of 10 for math, so its results are generally midrange rather than local-leading.

Results have improved since 2023–2024, though recent gains have paused: ELA rose from 46% to 63%, and math from 25% to 44%, with both subjects slightly below their previous-year results in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger rates the school at the 58th percentile with 3 stars, down from a 69th-percentile high in 2024–2025; the district is at the 69th percentile with 3 stars. SchoolDigger’s White Students subgroup ranking was at the 30th percentile, 28 points below the schoolwide ranking, and its Male Students ranking fell 23 points to the 48th percentile. The school’s 13.9 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 was above the nearby average of 12.3. In that school year, 31% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby-school average of 48%; these figures provide context, not an explanation for test results.

Open Quote At one point, the school and district was in good shape with caring administrators and teachers. But, the people of this community tend to run people out if things don't go their way. Right now, the administration is lacking any personal charisma with parents and students. Close Quote
