The 61818 zip code area is home to two schools - Cerro Gordo Elementary School and Cerro Gordo Junior and Senior High School, both part of the Cerro Gordo CUSD 100 district. While the elementary school ranks in the top 43% of Illinois schools, both institutions have demonstrated strengths and areas for improvement in their academic performance and other key metrics.
Cerro Gordo Elementary School stands out with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, outperforming the state average. However, the school lags behind in Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, Cerro Gordo Junior and Senior High School excels in ELA and Science, but also underperforms in Mathematics compared to the state. Both schools face challenges with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates.
Despite the socioeconomic challenges faced by the community, with a significant proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the schools have managed to achieve above-average performance in certain academic areas. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the areas of concern and ensure the long-term success of the students in the Cerro Gordo community.
