The school is part of the Carlyle CUSD 1 district, which is ranked 280 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Carlyle Elementary School's academic performance has been mixed in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 514 out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 (4-star rating) to 520 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024 (4-star rating) and then 766 out of 2,056 in 2024-2025 (3-star rating). The school's proficiency rates on the IAR exams are also mixed, with ELA proficiency at 55.9% and Math proficiency at 52.4% in 2024-2025, compared to the district and state averages. However, the school serves a high-need population, with over 54% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the challenges it faces.
Despite the school's fluctuating performance, it appears to be relatively well-resourced, with a high per-student spending of $11,833 in 2023-2024 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1. This suggests a focus on providing support and individualized attention to its students. Overall, Carlyle Elementary School seems to be a reasonably performing school, with some areas of strength and some areas for potential improvement, and the district and school may be working to address the needs of their high-poverty student population.
