Summary

Northpoint Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bloomington, Illinois, serving 465 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the McLean County Unified School District 5, which is ranked 432 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northpoint Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Northpoint had 59.1% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 53.7% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, Northpoint had 57.9% proficiency, while the district and state had 39.6% and 38.5%, respectively. The school has maintained a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 15% of Illinois elementary schools in recent years, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northpoint Elementary School outperforms most of the nearby schools in the McLean County Unified School District 5, particularly in academic achievement. The school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at around 11.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, and a higher per-student spending level compared to the district and state averages, with $14,029 spent per student in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rate, rising from 8.5% in the 2024-2025 school year to 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, is an area of concern that the school and district should address.
