Best Public Schools in Zip Code 62668

Summary:

The 62668 zip code has only one school, Murrayville-Woodson Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 862 out of 2,077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 and 1,080 out of 2,067 in 2023-2024. While the school outperformed the Jacksonville School District 117 and state averages in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts in 2024-2025, it underperformed in 5th grade English Language Arts and across all grades in Mathematics.

Murrayville-Woodson Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 44.55% in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $18,889 in 2023-2024 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.1 to 1, its academic performance is not consistently strong, suggesting that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.

The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate was higher than the district and state averages in 2023-2024, which is a positive finding. However, the overall inconsistency in the school's performance across different subject areas and grade levels indicates the need for a deeper analysis to understand the factors contributing to these fluctuations and identify areas for improvement.
