Summary:
ZIP code 61376 has one listed school, Bureau Valley North, an elementary school serving prekindergarten through fifth grade, with 183 students. Its reported test results cover grades 3–5, so there are no other listed local schools for comparison. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 65% in all-grades English language arts (ELA), 57% in all-grades math, and 61% in fifth-grade science. The most important finding is that the school was above the state in every reported subject-and-grade result.
Because it is the only school listed, Bureau Valley North is neither a local top performer nor a local bottom performer; its results are best understood against state and district figures. Its strongest state-relative result was fifth-grade math: 57% proficient, compared with 36% statewide, a 20-percentage-point advantage. The school also exceeded the state by 17 points in all-grades math and 9 points in all-grades ELA. One district-relative exception is fourth grade: the school was 6 points below Bureau Valley CUSD 340 in ELA and 6 points below in math, even though it exceeded the state in both subjects.
Results rose faster than the state’s in all three measures with year-to-year comparisons. All-grades ELA increased 8 points at the school versus 3 statewide, and math increased 8 points versus 1 statewide; fifth-grade science had the largest school gain, rising 13 points compared with a 7-point state increase. Science also moved from 3 points below the district in 2024–2025 to 3 points above in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger ranked the school 510th of 1,737 for 2025–2026, at the 71st percentile with four stars; it had three stars in each of the prior two years. Other context includes a student–teacher ratio of 8.5 and 50% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 9% and the state’s 24%. With only one school listed, local school-to-school comparisons are not possible.
