Best Public Schools in Abingdon, IL

Summary:

The city of Abingdon, Illinois is home to two schools: Hedding Grade School, an elementary school serving grades PK-5, and Abingdon-Avon High School, a high school serving grades 9-12. Both schools are part of the Abingdon-Avon CUSD 276 district.

Based on the data analysis, Hedding Grade School appears to be the standout performer in the Abingdon area. The school has consistently improved its statewide ranking over the past three years, moving from the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools to the top quarter. Additionally, Hedding Grade School's performance on standardized tests, such as the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is above the district and state averages across multiple grade levels. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 20.5%.

In contrast, Abingdon-Avon High School seems to be struggling, with lower test scores and a higher dropout rate compared to state averages. The high school's SAT Mathematics Proficiency of 3.1% and SAT English Language Arts Proficiency of 13.8% in 11th grade are well below the state averages. Additionally, the school's graduation rate of 83.8% and dropout rate of 4.5% are areas of concern.
