Summary:
ZIP code 61024 has one elementary school, Durand Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 6 and enrolling 281 students. With no other listed elementary schools in the ZIP code, parents can compare its results with state and district figures rather than with nearby schools in this set. The most important finding is that in 2025–2026 Durand was above the state in all-grades ELA and math, but below it in fifth-grade science: 68% versus 56% in ELA and 53% versus 40% in math, while science was 41% versus 48%.
Within Durand, third grade stands out most strongly against state results: 91% of students met or exceeded expectations in both ELA and math, compared with 48% statewide in ELA and 49% in math. Results were weaker in some upper grades: fifth-grade ELA was 52% versus 55% statewide, and sixth-grade math was 34% versus 36%. The state suppressed the fifth-grade math result, so it cannot be compared. These differences show that the school’s strong overall ELA and math results do not mean performance is equally strong in every grade.
Over time, Durand’s state advantage narrowed: ELA stayed at 68% from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 as the state improved, shrinking the lead from 15 to 12 points; math fell from 61% to 53%, and its lead narrowed from 23 to 13 points. Fifth-grade science shifted from 4 points above the state in 2024–2025 to 6 points below in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger lists Durand at rank 657 of 1,737, percentile 62, and 3 stars for 2025–2026; its percentile was 78 the prior year. As additional context, Durand’s student-teacher ratio was 11.2 in 2024–2025, and 48% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 10% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 12% and the state’s 24%.
