Summary:

Zip code 61611 has 10 schools: eight elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, with reported test results from 2025–2026 for seven of them. The clearest comparisons are between schools serving the same grades, and those show that results vary substantially across the area. In the most directly comparable elementary group, P. L. Bolin Elementary School is the strongest all-around performer.

Bolin led the grade 3–5 comparison with 62% proficiency in ELA and 56% in math, versus averages of about 42% and 33% for Glendale Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School. Bolin also reached 77% in fifth-grade science, 29 points above the state. Robein Elementary School stood out in eighth-grade science at 72%, compared with 46% at Central Junior High School and 48% at Riverview Elementary School; Robein also had 91% proficiency in fourth-grade ELA. A notable low point was Central’s eighth-grade math result of 19%, 16 points below the state. Three elementary schools—Don D Shute Elementary School, Woodrow Wilson Elementary School and Armstrong-Oakview Elementary School—have no test scores in the supplied data.

Recent trends are mixed: the three grade 3–5 schools’ average ELA result rose 7 points, from 42% to 49%, between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, while their math average slipped about 1 point, from 41.4% to 40.5%. Individual changes also differ: Robein’s eighth-grade science rose 18 points, while Glendale’s fifth-grade science fell 20 points. SchoolDigger gave Bolin and Robein four stars in 2025–2026, while Glendale, Lincoln, Riverview, Central and East Peoria High School had one star. Context varies too: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 34% at Bolin, 47% at Glendale and 64% at Lincoln; their student-teacher ratios were 13.8, 10.2 and 10.4, respectively. These figures describe different school contexts, not causes of achievement.
