Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in the 61728 zip code - Ridgeview Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has 252 students. The school is part of the Ridgeview CUSD 19 district, which is ranked 602 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ridgeview Elementary's academic performance has been mixed, with declining proficiency rates in both ELA and Math over the past two school years. However, the school's 5th grade students appear to be performing better than their younger peers, with 71.8% proficient in ELA and 46.2% proficient in Science in 2024-2025. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year.
Despite having adequate funding and resources, with a spending per student of $17,247 and a student-teacher ratio of 12:1, Ridgeview Elementary's academic performance still lags behind state averages. The district and school leadership should closely examine the root causes of these issues and develop targeted strategies to improve the school's performance and address the high chronic absenteeism rate.
