Schools in Zip Code 62034

Zip code 62034 has two elementary schools in Edwardsville CUSD 7: Glen Carbon Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 2, and Albert Cassens Elementary serves grades 3–5. Only Cassens has test scores in the supplied data, so the schools cannot be ranked against each other by achievement. The clearest finding is that Cassens scored above the state in all three reported results in 2025–2026.

Among Cassens’s reported results, fifth-grade science was its strongest against the state: 64% proficiency, 16 points above the state’s 48%, though about 1 point below the district. Its all-grade mathematics result was 54%, 15 points above the state’s 40%; all-grade ELA was 62%, 6 points above the state’s 56%. Results vary by grade, however: third-grade ELA was 42%, 6 points below the state and 13 below the district, while fourth- and fifth-grade ELA were each about 15 points above the state. Mathematics was also stronger against the state in grades 4 and 5, by 15 and 18 points, than in grade 3, by 1 point.

Cassens’s results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose from 57% to 62%, mathematics from 51% to 54%, and fifth-grade science from 56% to 64%; its state advantage grew by 2 points in ELA and mathematics and 1 point in science. SchoolDigger ranked Cassens at the 65th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the 69th percentile the prior year and 60th two years earlier; those rankings are not test-score changes. Both schools had low chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026: 6% at Cassens and 9% at Glen Carbon, below the district’s 15% and state’s 24%. Their student–teacher ratios were similar, at 17.3 and 16.7. For context, free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025 was 20% at Cassens and 17% at Glen Carbon; Glen Carbon spent $1,350 more per student that year. These school-profile differences do not establish what explains test results.
