Summary:

The 61063 zip code in Illinois is home to a single middle school, Pecatonica Community Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 and has a total enrollment of 256 students. The school is part of the Pecatonica CUSD 321 district, which is ranked 266 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pecatonica Community Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 299 out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools in 2022-2023 to 577 out of 1,368 in 2024-2025. The school's academic performance is a concern, with English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates slightly below the state average and mathematics proficiency rates significantly lower than the state average. However, the school's science proficiency rates are above the state average.

While the school has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate and higher spending per student compared to the state average, these factors do not seem to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also higher than the state average. Overall, the data suggests that Pecatonica Community Middle School may need to re-evaluate its strategies and approaches to better support student learning and growth.
