Summary:
The 62621 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Bluffs Elementary School, which serves students from the Scott-Morgan CUSD 2 district. While the school's overall performance has fluctuated in recent years, it has maintained proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are slightly above the state averages.
Bluffs Elementary School's statewide ranking has ranged from 774 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 (3 out of 5 stars) to 1,097 out of 2,077 in 2022-2023 (2 out of 5 stars), indicating inconsistent performance. The school's proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade ELA and Math were mixed, with some grades performing above and others below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (54.55% in 2023-2024), suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending ($21,878 in 2023-2024) and low student-teacher ratio (7.8), Bluffs Elementary School's chronic absenteeism rate for the 2024-2025 school year was 25.4%, significantly higher than the state's target of 10% or less. This suggests that the school may need to examine its attendance and engagement strategies to improve student outcomes.
