Summary:
The 62340 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Griggsville-Perry Primary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's performance has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 573rd out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,125th out of 2,056 in 2024-2025.
Griggsville-Perry Primary School's academic performance is mixed, with its 2024-2025 English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 47.5% slightly below the Griggsville-Perry CUSD 4 district (53.1%) and state (53.1%) averages, while its math proficiency rate of 36.6% was slightly above the district (39.5%) but below the state (38.5%) average. In the previous year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was higher than the district and state, but its math proficiency rate was significantly higher than both.
The school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (27.21% in 2023-2024), indicating a significant socioeconomic challenge. However, the school's per-student spending of $16,446 in 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, suggesting that the district is investing resources into the school. Despite this investment, the school's declining statewide ranking and mixed academic performance indicate that the school may need to re-evaluate how these resources are being utilized to drive better student outcomes.
