Summary

Enos Elementary School serves 245 students in grades K–5 in Springfield, Illinois, as part of Springfield School District 186. Its clearest distinction is that its recent English and math results are stronger than those of most comparable nearby schools, even though both remain below state proficiency rates.

Enos is especially strong locally in English: 43% of students were proficient in 2025–26, compared with a 31% average among nearby K–5 schools with reported results; Enos ranked second, behind Owen Marsh Elementary School. In math, Enos’s 28% was 6 points above the nearby-school average, ranking third behind Owen Marsh and Butler Elementary School. Still, Enos was 13 points below the state in English and 11 points below in math. Third grade stands out, while fourth-grade English is a relative weak spot: 41% were proficient, compared with 42% in the district and 56% statewide. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 35%, below the district’s 39% but above the state’s 24% and nearby-school average of 32%.

Scores have risen over three years: English proficiency increased 18 percentage points and math increased 18 points, with each subject’s gap to the state smaller in 2025–26 than at the start of the period. SchoolDigger places Enos at the 26th percentile statewide for 2025–26 (1 star), compared with the district’s 19th percentile (1 star). In 2024–25, Enos had a student-teacher ratio of 11.1, the second-lowest among the nearby schools, and 78% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 66% nearby-school average. SchoolDigger’s 2024–25 statewide ranking for Disabled Students fell to the 4th percentile from the 47th the prior year, a 43-point drop. Its ranking for Special Education Students fell to the 3rd percentile from the 36th, a 33-point drop; both were below Enos’s overall 17th-percentile ranking that year.
