Summary:
Zip code 60468 has one elementary school, Peotone Elementary School, which serves kindergarten through grade 3 and enrolls 340 students. Its grade 3 results offer the clearest comparison with statewide results: in 2025–26, 56% met proficiency in mathematics, versus 49% statewide, while 51% did so in English Language Arts (ELA), versus 48% statewide. The clearest takeaway is that mathematics is the school’s stronger subject compared with the state.
There are no other schools in this list to rank as local leaders or laggards, so Peotone’s standout is its subject-by-subject pattern. In grade 3, its advantage over the state was 7 percentage points in mathematics and 3 points in ELA. The published All Grades figures show a different ELA comparison: 51% at the school versus 56% statewide, a 6-point shortfall; mathematics was 56% versus 40%, a 16-point advantage. These All Grades figures are reported, but grade 3 is the more direct comparison for this K–3 school. The school’s grade 3 results match those reported for Peotone CUSD 207U.
Recent results have moved in opposite directions by subject: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, the reported All Grades ELA result fell 10 points, from 61% to 51%, while mathematics rose 5 points, from 51% to 56%. State results rose 3 points in ELA and 1 point in mathematics over the same period. SchoolDigger’s older rankings improved from 1,239th of 2,166 schools (43rd percentile, 2 stars) in 2011–12 to 588th of 2,093 (72nd percentile, 4 stars) in 2013–14, but these are historical rankings. Other context: the student-teacher ratio was 12:1 in 2024–25, and 33% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. In 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 19% at the school, compared with 18% in the district and 24% statewide; these figures describe context, not a cause of test results. With only one school, the list cannot show how Peotone compares with local peers.
