Summary:

The 62627 zip code has only one school, A-C Central Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with an enrollment of 131 students. The school is part of the A-C Central CUSD 262 district, which is ranked 596 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

A-C Central Elementary School's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 535 out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools (4-star rating) in 2022-2023 to 1,043 out of 2,067 (2-star rating) in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics have also varied, with higher-than-average scores in 2024-2025 but lower-than-average scores in 2023-2024. The school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year and a relatively high percentage of students (48.09%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite these challenges, A-C Central Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 and spends $19,460 per student, suggesting access to significant resources. However, it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to drive consistent student outcomes. The school's small size may provide opportunities for personalized attention, but it could also present challenges in terms of program offerings and extracurricular activities.
