Summary

Virginia Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 187 students in grades PK-5 in Virginia, Illinois, which is part of the Virginia CUSD 64 district.

The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent compared to other Illinois elementary schools, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 391 out of 1,948 schools in 2020-2021 (rated 4 stars) to 1,056 out of 2,056 in 2024-2025 (rated 2 stars). The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 44.3%, compared to 53.1% for the state, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 43.6%, compared to 38.5% for the state. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 15.9% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025.

When compared to the nearby Jacksonville School District 117 schools, Virginia Elementary School generally performs worse academically. For instance, in 2024-2025, Eisenhower Elementary School had significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA (61.1%) and Mathematics (55.2%) compared to Virginia Elementary School. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.84% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.

This very nice small country school district is not only technology saavy, but also has a heart of gold. Preschool- Grade 1 has a family atmosphere where everyone cares about eachother, without being nosy. The teachers truly go the extra mile to make sure all of the students have their educational needs met. A great school! Close Quote
