Summary:
The 60474 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, South Wilmington Grade School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. This small school has a student population of 86 and is part of the South Wilmington CCSD 74 district.
South Wilmington Grade School has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking 736 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking 918 out of 1,948 in 2020-2021 and 672 out of 2,086 in 2018-2019. While the school's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts (51%) and Mathematics (44.9%) are slightly below the state averages, its 4th-grade proficiency rates are significantly higher than the state in both subjects, suggesting the school is doing a better job of supporting student learning in the early grades.
The school spends $15,374 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7. This suggests the school is allocating resources to support its students, which may be contributing to its stronger performance in the early grades. However, the school's lower proficiency rates in the upper grades (5th and 8th) compared to the early grades may indicate a need to focus on strengthening academic support and interventions for students as they progress through the grade levels.
