Summary:
The 61012 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Capron Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and has an enrollment of 177 students. The school is part of the North Boone CUSD 200 school district, which is ranked 404 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Capron Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, is generally lower than the district and state averages, with some exceptions. In 2024-2025, the school's 4th-grade ELA proficiency rate (55.6%) was higher than the district (61.8%) and state (51.2%) averages, and its 4th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate (50%) was higher than the state average (42.5%), but lower than the district average (55%). However, the school's overall ELA proficiency rate (46.2%) and Mathematics proficiency rate (38.5%) in 2024-2025 were lower than the district and state averages.
Another area of concern for Capron Elementary School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with 44.63% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1 and spends $17,148 per student, which is higher than the national average of around $12,000 per student.
