Summary:
ZIP code 61252 has one elementary school, Fulton Elementary School, serving grades K–5 and enrolling 421 students. With no other elementary schools listed in the ZIP code, parents have no local school-to-school comparison in this set. The clearest takeaway is that results vary by subject and grade: fifth-grade science is a notable strength, while fourth-grade math is the sharpest weakness.
Fulton Elementary School stands out positively in fifth-grade science: 56% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, 9 percentage points above the state’s 48%. Fourth-grade math is the lowest point in the supplied grade-level results, with 32% proficient compared with 42% statewide, a 10-point gap. Across all grades, ELA proficiency was 50%, 7 points below the state’s 56%; math was 39%, about 1 point below the state’s 40%.
Results changed unevenly over time: all-grade ELA rose from 47% in 2024–2025 to 50% in 2025–2026, but its gap with the state widened by about 1 point; math fell from 40% to 39% as the state improved, leaving Fulton’s relative position down 2 points. Fifth-grade science improved from 48% to 56%, increasing its advantage over the state from 7 to 9 points. Chronic absenteeism was 16% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 19% and the state’s 24%. Other context includes a 14.5 student-teacher ratio and 42% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger lists Fulton at 2 stars and rank 1,023 out of 1,737 for its latest listing; its percentile was 48, 54, and 41 across the three reported years. Because the list includes only one school and SchoolDigger’s ranking pools change by year, neither provides a direct comparison among local schools or a like-for-like ranking trend.
