Original Research by School Decision on Caseyville Elementary School
Caseyville Elementary School serves kindergarten through fourth grade in a small, growing St. Clair County village roughly 10 miles east of downtown St. Louis. The school enrolls a school-sized population across its grade span, with more than half of students identifying as Hispanic and substantial representation of white students; the student body also includes Black students and other groups in smaller numbers. The school sits at 433 South 2nd Street, the civic core of Caseyville's small Main Street village center.
On state assessment data from the 2024-25 school year, proficiency results in both math and English language arts fall below the midpoint among St. Clair County districts. In third-grade math, about half of students tested at proficient or above levels; in third-grade ELA, about one-third met that threshold. Performance drops noticeably in fourth grade, where roughly one-fifth of students achieved proficiency in math and about one-quarter in ELA. Testing participation was complete in all reported grades. The school's overall proficiency index placed it in the bottom quartile within the county's school comparison set. Parents may want to look into what targeted support the school is putting in place for fourth-grade math proficiency and what strategies are in use to accelerate growth from third to fourth grade, as that dip is substantial.
Caseyville Elementary is part of Collinsville CUSD 10, a district that has been managing enrollment shifts and capital needs across its schools. In May 2024, the district closed Jefferson Elementary due to declining enrollment, reassigning affected students by address to other buildings. That same month, voters approved a zero-rate-change facility referendum that shifted funding toward safety upgrades, HVAC work, and accessibility improvements across all district schools without raising taxes. The district is also expanding the Collinsville Area Vocational Center, a career-technical facility serving high school students from multiple area districts, with construction scheduled through 2026.
Caseyville itself is characterized as a modest, residential village with a sparse suburban feel where most residents own their homes. It has been growing incrementally, and new residential development is active, particularly in subdivisions such as Tanglewood on Illinois Route 159, with homes priced across a range to serve different family budgets. Within the village, civic anchors include Caseyville Park (with playground, sports fields, walking trails, and a skate park) and the Caseyville Public Library District at South Second Street. Nearby Fairview Heights and Collinsville handle most retail and shopping needs within a short drive. The area draws a notable military-connected population due to proximity to Scott Air Force Base roughly 15 to 17 miles southeast via I-64, and residents commute to the broader St. Louis Metro East for work.
Housing values in the 62232 zip code are well below state and national benchmarks, making Caseyville an affordable option for families entering the housing market or seeking lower costs in the St. Louis suburbs. Monthly mortgage estimates remain modest, and rental affordability ratios are favorable relative to national context.
The school's grade structure means that state testing results are reported only for third and fourth grade; kindergarten through second grade are not tested by Illinois state assessment. A parent enrolling in this school should understand that the proficiency trend from third to fourth grade points to a need for close attention to math skill-building in the upper elementary years.
