Summary

Mable Woolsey Elementary School serves 383 students in prekindergarten through grade 4 in Knoxville, Illinois. In 2025–26, students were more successful in math than in English Language Arts (ELA) compared with state and district results, but the schoolwide averages hide a marked difference by grade. The clearest concern is grade 3: scores there were below state and nearby-school averages, while grade 4 results were stronger.

Math is the school’s relative strength: 42% were proficient, 3 points above Illinois and 9 points above Knoxville CUSD 202. ELA proficiency was 51%, 5 points below the state and 11 points below the district. Grade-level results sharpen that picture: grade 3 ELA and math scores were 36% and 39%, respectively, below state results by 12 and 10 points; among nearby schools with reported scores, Mable ranked third-lowest of eight in grade 3 ELA and fourth of eight in math. In grade 4, ELA was 65% and math 45%, above state results by 9 and 3 points. Mable ranked fourth among nearby schools with reported scores in both grade 4 subjects. Its current SchoolDigger statewide standing is in the middle of the local group: 5th of 8 nearby schools with a reported rank.

Results have shifted in recent years. ELA rose from 49% in 2023–24 to 61% in 2024–25, then fell to 51% in 2025–26; the latest result is 10 points below the prior year, and its margin versus the state swung 13 points against Mable over the three years. Math reached 49% in 2024–25 before dropping to 42%, though it remains above state and district results. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 71st percentile in 2023–24 to the 40th in 2025–26, and its rating fell from 3 stars to 2. In 2024–25, 42% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; Mable’s 16.6:1 student–teacher ratio was the second-highest among nearby schools with data. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 statewide measure of how well it serves White Students was at the 9th percentile, compared with 40th overall; for Female Students it was at the 18th percentile, down from 67th the year before.
