Summary

Tremont Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 314 students in grades PK-4 in Tremont, Illinois. The school is part of the Tremont CUSD 702 district, which is ranked 154 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tremont Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grades. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 68.6% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.1%. The school's 3rd and 4th-grade ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates are particularly strong, often exceeding the district and state averages by a significant margin. Additionally, the school performs exceptionally well in serving its low socioeconomic status (SES) and special education student populations, ranking in the top 7% and 16% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively, for these subgroups.

While Tremont Elementary School outperforms the nearby Willow Elementary School and L.E. Starke Elementary School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, its performance lags behind the highly-rated Morton CUSD 709 district, which includes schools like Jefferson Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Grundy Elementary. However, the school's rising chronic absenteeism, from 15.4% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, is an area of concern that the school and district should closely monitor and address.
