Summary:

Zip code 61012 has one listed school, Capron Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 4 in North Boone CUSD 200. With no other listed school in the zip code, families have no school-to-school comparison in this data. The most important finding is that Capron’s 2025–2026 all-grades proficiency rates were above state rates in both subjects: 64% in English language arts (ELA), 8 points higher, and 47% in math, 7 points higher.

Capron is both the highest- and lowest-performing school in this one-school group, which does not indicate how it compares with other local schools. Its grade-level results show where performance varies: grade 3 ELA was 67%, 19 points above the state, and grade 4 math was 52%, 10 points above. Grade 4 ELA was 62%, 6 points above the state, while grade 3 math was 42%, 8 points below. That grade 3 math result is the clearest exception to the school’s above-state overall results.

Capron’s all-grades results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 18 points, compared with a 3-point state increase, and math rose 8 points, compared with a 1-point state increase. SchoolDigger’s rank-history percentile also rose, from the 48th percentile in 2023–2024 and 49th in 2024–2025 to the 58th in 2025–2026; its latest rating is 3 stars. Other context includes 162 students, a 13.6 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, and 51% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 16%, below the district’s 20% and the state’s 24%. These figures describe the school but do not establish what accounts for its results.
