Eagle Ridge School, Silvis IL - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Eagle Ridge School

Eagle Ridge School is a small K-8 building in Silvis, Illinois, serving about one school-age population in the Carbon Cliff-Barstow district. The school enrolls a student body that is roughly half white, over one-third Black, and the remainder Hispanic, Asian, American Indian, Native Hawaiian, and multiracial. Free-and-reduced-lunch data and special-population counts were not available, so a parent may want to reach out directly to the district to understand how many students receive support services and meal assistance.

The school's 2024-25 state assessment results in math and English language arts show proficiency rates that are low across the grades tested. In math, proficiency ranged from near zero in fourth and sixth grade to roughly ten to eighteen percent in grades three, five, seven, and eight. In English language arts, results were similarly weak, with most grades at ten to twenty percent proficiency, except for fourth grade at roughly forty-seven percent. Science testing in fifth and eighth grade showed proficiency rates in the upper twenties. All tested grades participated at rates of ninety-four percent or higher, so the low results reflect actual academic performance rather than testing gaps.

When placed against the other districts in Rock Island County, Eagle Ridge's overall proficiency index sits in the bottom quartile, well below the county median. The school operates as a regular public school with no charter or magnet status. It serves pre-K through eighth grade, so there is no high school graduation rate to report.

Silvis itself is a small Quad Cities city where most residents own their homes, with a mix of residential blocks, parks, and schools alongside a heavy industrial corridor to the north that includes a John Deere manufacturing plant and a major railyard. Genesis Medical Center is a significant local employer, and MetroLINK bus service connects the city to the wider regional transit network. The city is in modest growth mode, with recent housing developments approved and a downtown Main Street revitalization effort underway. Housing values in the area are below state and national benchmarks, and rent-to-income ratios suggest housing remains relatively affordable locally.

The Carbon Cliff-Barstow district itself is very small and serves a limited geographic area. No recent major referendums, curriculum changes, or strategic shifts were identified in public reporting, so a parent evaluating this school would benefit from speaking directly with the district office about any planned academic improvements, staff initiatives, or other changes underway.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
