Summary:
The Zion area has only one school, Zion Public School, an elementary school serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 266 students. The school is part of the Zion District, which is ranked 255 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Zion Public School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 108th out of 389 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 260th out of 646 in 2020-2021, suggesting its performance may be variable. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% in 2024-2025 is also higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern.
Academically, Zion Public School's test scores are mixed compared to the state average. The school outperformed the state in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Math, but underperformed in 6th and 7th grade English Language Arts and Math, as well as in Science for all grades. Additionally, 63.53% of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. The school's spending per student of $9,920 in 2018-2019 was above the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 10.9 in 2023-2024 was lower than the state average.
