Summary:
The 61559 zip code is home to two schools: Princeville High School and Princeville Elementary School, both part of the Princeville CUSD 326 district. While the high school consistently ranks among the top 25% of Illinois high schools, the elementary school performs at a more average level.
Princeville High School stands out with its 4-star rating, 89% 4-year graduation rate, and impressive test scores that exceed state averages in both English Language Arts (71.4% proficiency) and Math (67.7% proficiency). In contrast, Princeville Elementary School has a 3-star rating and test scores that are generally in line with or slightly below state averages.
Both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, around 35-36%, indicating a sizable population of economically disadvantaged students. However, the schools have comparable spending per student and student-teacher ratios, suggesting the performance gap between the high school and elementary school may be influenced by factors beyond just resources, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership.
