Summary:

The city of Elkville, Illinois is home to two schools - Elverado Primary School, an elementary school serving grades PK-2, and Elverado High School, a high school serving grades 9-12. With a combined enrollment of 225 students, the schools in Elkville face some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant disparity in free/reduced lunch rates between the primary and high school.

Elverado Primary School has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate between 2-3 stars out of 5 in recent years, and its per-student spending of $15,215 is lower than the $17,520 spent per student at Elverado High School. The primary school also has a much higher free/reduced lunch rate of 71.68% compared to the high school's 56.25%.

Overall, the schools in Elkville, part of the Elverado CUSD 196 district, face a mix of challenges and strengths. While the primary school's declining statewide ranking and high chronic absenteeism rates are areas of concern, the high school's stronger performance in Science and relatively low student-teacher ratio suggest potential areas of focus for improvement across the district.
