Summary:
The 61859 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Prairieview-Ogden South Elementary, which serves students from the Prairieview-Ogden CCSD 197 district. While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, its academic performance is mixed, with strengths in science but uneven results across grade levels in English Language Arts and Math.
Prairieview-Ogden South Elementary has seen its statewide ranking range from 722 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 933 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024 and 849 out of 2,077 in 2022-2023. In terms of academic performance, the school's proficiency rates in ELA and Math are on par with the state average but lower than the district average. However, the school's 5th graders outperformed the state average in science, with 57.7% proficient or better compared to 40.6% statewide.
The school's demographic and funding metrics suggest some relative advantages, such as a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (15.56% in 2023-2024) and a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.6, compared to the state average. The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $12,328. These factors may contribute to the school's overall performance, though the uneven academic results across grade levels indicate that the school may need to address specific challenges or implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
