Summary:
The 62052 zip code area in Illinois is home to two elementary schools - Jerseyville East Elementary School and Jerseyville West Elementary School, both serving students from kindergarten through 4th grade and part of the Jersey CUSD 100 district.
Jerseyville East Elementary School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, Jerseyville West Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from the top 25% of Illinois elementary schools to the middle 50%. However, Jerseyville West has a lower student-teacher ratio of 16.6, which may contribute to its stronger performance in 3rd grade Mathematics.
Both schools serve a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests a need to focus on supporting students from lower-income households. Additionally, both schools have concerning chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average and an area that may require targeted interventions.
