Summary:

The 62288 zip code in Illinois is home to two schools: Steeleville Elementary School and Steeleville High School, both part of the Steeleville CUSD 138 district. While the district as a whole is ranked 508 out of 811 in Illinois and rated 2 out of 5 stars, the high school stands out as the stronger performer of the two schools.

Steeleville High School is ranked 216 out of 698 Illinois high schools and has a 3-star rating, with a 89.0% four-year graduation rate and a 2.4% dropout rate. The school outperformed the state average in 11th-grade ACT English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments. In contrast, Steeleville Elementary School is ranked 1513 out of 2056 Illinois elementary schools and has a 1-star rating, with significantly lower performance on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages.

Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% and socioeconomic factors, with 30% of Steeleville High School students and 42.5% of Steeleville Elementary School students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The district's overall low ranking suggests the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to the performance gaps between the two schools and the implementation of strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in the areas of attendance and Mathematics.
