Summary

Dr. C.T. Vivian Primary School is a 378-student school serving kindergarten through grade 4 in Peoria, within Peoria School District 150. Its results are higher than the district’s in both tested subjects but lower than the state’s. The clearest takeaway is that math is a relative strength compared with ELA, though neither subject is above the state average.

Compared with nearby K–4 schools, Vivian is near the lower end in ELA and around the middle in math. Its ELA proficiency was 34%, versus a 46% average for the nearby K–4 group; in math, it was 29%, compared with their 34% average. Vivian was 2 points above the district in ELA (34% versus 32%) and 9 points above it in math (29% versus 20%). It remained below the state in both: 56% in ELA and 40% in math, gaps of 23 and 11 points, respectively. The local comparisons show math as the more favorable result, not a leading one.

Results have improved since 2023–24, but ELA has lost some ground in the latest year. ELA rose 17 points over the period, from 17% to 34%, then fell 3 points from 2024–25; math rose 13 points, from 16% to 29%. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 28th percentile in 2024–25 to the 12th in 2025–26, with a 1-star rating in both years. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 12.1, the lowest among the nearby schools listed. In 2024–25, 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, 7 points above the nearby K–4 average. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves male students fell from the 28th percentile to the 3rd in 2025–26; its ranking for serving low socioeconomic status students dropped from the 36th to the 6th percentile.
