Staunton has earned 5 stars in 9 of the last 10 listed years, with statewide percentiles from 87 to 98, so its success is consistent rather than a one-year fluke.

Its 2025–2026 ILEARN proficiency was 65.78% in English Language Arts and 72.04% in Math, compared with Clay Community Schools’ 53.21% and 48.89%. Math is a signature strength, especially in 5th grade at 81.48%, far above East Side Elementary School’s 64.52% and most other nearby schools.
