Summary:
The 62239 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Bluffview Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has shown some strengths in certain areas, its overall academic performance has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates generally below state and district averages.
Bluffview Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 866 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1,089 out of 2,077 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and Illinois Science Assessment (ISA), has been mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing better than others. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (67.99%) and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%.
Despite these challenges, Bluffview Elementary School appears to be allocating resources to support its students, with a higher-than-average per-student spending of $15,135 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.9. However, the effectiveness of these investments may need to be evaluated to ensure they are having the desired impact on student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and implementing targeted interventions to address the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student learning and achievement.
