Summary

Milton Pope Elementary School in Marseilles, Illinois, serves grades K–8 and enrolls 195 students in an area with 10 nearby schools in the comparison. Its 2025–2026 all-grade results were stronger than state averages in both subjects, and its fifth-grade science result stands out: 81%, compared with 48% statewide.

The school is especially competitive in ELA: its 73% result was 4th-highest among the 10 nearby schools, versus a nearby average of 60%; its 50% math result ranked 5th, just 2 points above the nearby average of 48%. Both results were 17 points higher in ELA and 10 points higher in math than state results. Fifth-grade science was 34 points above the state result and 20 points above the average of nearby schools with scores. The school’s all-grade results exactly matched those of the Miller Township CCSD 210. Eighth-grade ELA is a relative soft spot: Milton Pope’s 75% was third among the three nearby schools with scores, behind Saratoga Elementary School and Lisbon Grade School, though still 12 points above the state. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, and some grade-level results are state-suppressed.

Results have risen considerably: from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, ELA increased 34 points and math 23 points, moving from slightly below to above state results in both subjects.
