Best Public Schools in Belleville, IL

Summary:

The city of Belleville, Illinois is home to 19 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds. The data reveals notable disparities in academic performance across the district, with some standout schools like Roosevelt Elementary School and Henry Raab Elementary School leading the way in proficiency rates, while others like Franklin Elementary School and Abraham Lincoln Elementary School struggle to meet state averages.

Among the middle schools, Central Junior High School stands out with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the district.
