Summary

In Okawville, Illinois, Okawville Grade School serves 297 students in pre-K through grade 6 and is part of West Washington County CUD 10. Its clearest academic strength is mathematics: results are well above state and district levels, while English Language Arts (ELA), though above both, is less competitive with nearby schools.

In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 59%, compared with 40% statewide and 50% in the district; ELA was 62%, compared with 56% statewide and 60% in the district. Against nearby schools, ELA is the weaker comparison: the nine-school average was 71%, 9 points above Okawville’s result. Math was close to the nearby average of 61%, just 1 point lower. Results also vary considerably by grade: grade-6 ELA reached 90%, while grade-3 ELA was 43%, 5 points below the state result. Grade-5 science was another bright spot at 64%, tied with the district and third-highest among seven nearby schools with results.

Math proficiency rose from 48% in 2023–2024 to 54% in 2024–2025 and 59% in 2025–2026. ELA climbed from 55% to 67%, then eased to 62%; its lead over the state narrowed from 13 points to 5. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 69th statewide percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, down 9 percentile points and one star from the prior year.

Contextually, the student-teacher ratio was 13.0 in 2024–2025, matching the nearby-school average, and 25% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby average of 22%. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so all-grades comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.

What people are saying

Open Quote I agree with the previous review. This town is very small, and 99 of the people have lived their whole lives here. Everybody is related to everybody else. They do not like outsiders, which is basically anyone who hasn't lived there forever. The nepotism is suffocating. The town is all white people, and most of them have racist views and anti-LGBT, etc. They have a paper that writes gossip and info about people that shouldn't be public, like for example if someone gets disability or if they are poor, etc. They don't like anybody with different views. Most of them do not get a very good education at the school because they all go to KCC instead of a real college. I am married to somebody who has family here, and we lived with them for awhile until we got our own home away from this town. I was not sad to leave. Close Quote
