The 62420 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Monroe Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has an enrollment of 520 students. The school is part of the Casey-Westfield CUSD 4C district, which is ranked 389 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Monroe Elementary School's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 842 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 (3-star rating) to 1,112 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating). The school's proficiency rates in ELA and Math were generally higher than the district and state averages in 2024-2025, but lower in the previous year. With a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and a free/reduced lunch rate of 48.08%, the school likely faces socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting its performance.
Despite the fluctuations, Monroe Elementary School's per-student spending of $10,411 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.8 for the 2023-2024 school year suggest the school has access to resources to support student learning. However, further analysis would be needed to identify the root causes of the observed performance changes and to develop strategies for improving the school's academic outcomes.
