Summary:
The 61932 zip code area has only one elementary school, Shiloh Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and is part of the Shiloh CUSD 1 district. The school's academic performance, as reflected in its low SchoolDigger rankings and below-average proficiency rates on state assessments, is a significant concern. With a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and nearly half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Shiloh Elementary School faces challenges that may be impacting student learning and achievement.
Shiloh Elementary School's statewide SchoolDigger rank has fluctuated in recent years, ranking 1275 out of 2056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 (2 stars), 1543 out of 2067 in 2023-2024 (1 star), and 1365 out of 2077 in 2022-2023 (2 stars). The school's proficiency rates on the IAR/English Language Arts, IAR/Mathematics, and ISA science exams were all below the state averages across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's overall proficiency rates were 39.2% in English Language Arts and 28% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $15,596 in 2023-2024 and a student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1, Shiloh Elementary School's academic performance remains a concern. The school's underperformance may be attributed to factors beyond just funding, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and resource allocation. Further investigation into the root causes of the school's challenges could help identify targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
