Best Public Schools in Knoxville, IL


Summary:

The city of Knoxville, Illinois is home to three schools serving grades K-12: Mable Woolsey Elementary School, Knoxville Senior High School, and Knoxville Junior High School, all part of the Knoxville CUSD 202 district. While Mable Woolsey Elementary consistently performs above state averages, the junior and senior high schools have struggled, ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in Illinois.

Mable Woolsey Elementary School stands out as the top performer in the district, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics that exceed both district and state averages. In contrast, Knoxville Junior High School and Knoxville Senior High School have only received 2-star ratings and have test scores well below state averages, particularly in Mathematics.

Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are high, ranging from 12.7% at the elementary school to 23.0% at the high school. Despite relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the district's performance lags behind the state, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The district also faces equity concerns, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 42.68% at the high school to 50% at the elementary school.
