Summary

Bicentennial Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Coal Valley, Illinois, serving 335 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 district, which is ranked 659 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bicentennial Elementary consistently outperforms the district and the state of Illinois in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For the 2024-2025 school year, Bicentennial's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 42.9%, compared to 38.2% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, Bicentennial's proficiency rate for all grades was 50.6%, significantly higher than the district's 28.3% and the state's 38.5%. However, the school's white students and students with special needs or low socioeconomic status perform significantly worse than the state averages for those subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Roosevelt Elementary School, George Washington Elementary School, and Butterworth Elementary School all have lower proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics than Bicentennial. Interestingly, Jane Addams Elementary School, also in the Moline-Coal Valley district, consistently outperforms Bicentennial in both subject areas. Additionally, Bicentennial's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.2% to 30.1% over the past few years, could be a contributing factor to the school's lower overall performance compared to the state.
