Summary:
The city of Chillicothe, Illinois is home to 5 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Il Valley Central Unified School District 321. While the district as a whole is ranked 250 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, a few schools within the district stand out as top performers.
Mossville Elementary School and Chillicothe Junior High are the clear standouts, with both schools ranked in the top 25% of their respective grade levels in Illinois and earning 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Mossville Elementary outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, while Chillicothe Junior High excels in English Language Arts and Science. In contrast, South Elementary and Chillicothe Elementary Center struggle to match the district and state averages in these areas.
The district's only high school, Il Valley Central High School, performs reasonably well with an 88.4% four-year graduation rate and a 2.1% dropout rate, but lags behind the state average in Mathematics proficiency. The schools in the district also serve populations with varying levels of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rates, which may contribute to the differences in academic performance observed across the schools.
