Original Research by School Decision on Maryville Elem School
Maryville Elementary School is a small, traditional public elementary school in the residential village of Maryville, serving early elementary through fourth grade. The school enroll a modest student population in a community that is predominantly white, suburban, and family-oriented, situated in Madison County on the eastern edge of the St. Louis metro area.
The school is part of Collinsville CUSD 10, which recently completed a significant closure of Jefferson Elementary due to enrollment decline, reassigning students to other buildings in the district. That consolidation has left Maryville as one of seven elementary schools now serving the district. At the district level, a zero-rate-change referendum passed in March 2024, redirecting funding to facilities without raising taxes and committing the board to forgo future bond authorizations for routine capital projects. The district is also expanding the Collinsville Area Vocational Center, a career and technical education hub serving high school students from ten area schools, which opens pathways for students as they move into secondary grades.
On state testing, Maryville Elementary's performance in the most recent year was mixed by grade. Third graders showed proficiency rates in the mid-range in both math and English language arts. Fourth graders achieved similar or slightly higher proficiency in both subjects. Testing data for fifth grade and above was not available, likely because the school does not serve those grades. Placed against other schools in Madison County, Maryville's overall proficiency index ranked in the top quartile, meaning its combined performance across tested grades and subjects was among the stronger schools in the county. Parents should note that state testing data reflects only tested grades and subjects; results for the youngest grades (pre-K through second) are not reported because Illinois does not test those grades. The proficiency ceiling appears moderate rather than exceptionally high, so a parent may want to look into the school's approach to support for students not yet at grade-level expectations.
The school's student body is mostly white, with smaller populations of Black, multiracial, and Hispanic students. Data on free or reduced-price lunch eligibility, English learner enrollment, and special education enrollment were not available. Without those figures, it is difficult to fully characterize the economic and support needs across the school.
Maryville itself is a growing suburban village with relatively strong housing values and a reputation for high per capita income in the region. The village features traditional suburban neighborhoods and is in the midst of a major redevelopment: the Maryville Town Center, approved in 2026, will bring mixed-use, retail, and higher-end residential development to the southern end of the village. The area is auto-oriented, with daily life centered on Route [a number] and proximity to I-55/70. A notable civic asset is the MCT Schoolhouse Trail, a paved bikeway connecting Maryville to the regional trails network and to parks like Drost Park. Employment is anchored by Anderson Hospital and smaller offices and retail; most large employers are in the broader region, including Scott Air Force Base, Amazon, and Southern Illinois University.
The school sits in a community at a crossroads between established suburban stability and growth-driven change. Families choosing Maryville Elementary can expect a traditional elementary environment in a residential setting with solid, if not exceptional, proficiency performance. A parent may want to ask the school directly about curriculum and instruction in the early grades (K-2), since those are not state-tested, and about support structures for students working toward grade-level mastery in the tested grades.
