Summary

Marine Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 132 students in grades K-5 in the Triad CUSD 2 district in Marine, Illinois. The school has consistently been ranked in the top half of Illinois elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, and its performance on standardized tests has been generally above the state average.

One of the key strengths of Marine Elementary School is its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, 58.6% of all students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.1%, and 48.6% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school's performance for female students has been especially strong, with a 5-star rating in the 2021-2022 school year. However, the school's performance for male and white students has been more mixed, with lower rankings compared to the overall school performance.

While Marine Elementary School's academic achievements are impressive, the school has faced some challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 6.9% to 28.3% over the past few years. This is an area of concern, as chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and achievement. When compared to other schools in the area, such as Albert Cassens Elementary and Goshen Elementary in the Edwardsville CUSD 7 district, Marine Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of test scores and overall school rankings. However, some nearby schools, such as C.A. Henning School, have outperformed Marine Elementary School in certain grade-level and subject-area assessments.
