This school is part of the Spoon River Valley CUSD 4 district, which is ranked 331 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spoon River Valley Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 40% of Illinois elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 389 out of 2,056 schools (top 19%) for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics is strong, with 65.3% of students proficient or better in both subjects, significantly outperforming the state averages. Particularly impressive are the school's 4th and 5th-grade ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates, ranging from 75% to 85.7%, well above the state averages.

While Spoon River Valley Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of low socioeconomic status (SES) students, with 55.63% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's performance for this subgroup is noteworthy, ranking in the top 2% of Illinois elementary schools. However, the performance of female and male students is more mixed, with female students ranking in the bottom 30% and male students ranking in the bottom 40% of Illinois elementary schools in recent years. The school's increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.9% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
