Original Research by School Decision on Congerville Elem School
Congerville Elementary School is a small rural school serving kindergarten through fourth grade in a village of roughly a thousand residents in central Illinois. The school enrolls a small population and sits within Congerville itself, embedded among village streets near local churches and civic landmarks rather than on a separate campus.
On state testing, the school shows a mixed profile across third and fourth grades. In third-grade mathematics and language arts, proficiency rates are strong and equal across both subjects. Fourth-grade language arts proficiency is at the highest level, with all tested students meeting the standard. Fourth-grade mathematics, by contrast, trails noticeably. The school achieved a proficiency index placing it in the top quartile among districts across Woodford County, though this index reflects only the grades and subjects where state testing is conducted. Fifth grade and beyond are not tested at this school, so no state results exist for those grades; this is typical of elementary schools that do not serve middle grades. Testing participation is complete for the grades the school does assess.
The student body is small, with an enrollment distributed across six grades from pre-K through fourth. The majority of the school is white, with smaller numbers of Asian, Black, and multiracial students. Data on the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and on English learners and special education enrollment are not available.
Congerville is a village in the Peoria region experiencing modest, slow growth, ringed by farmland and anchored by small businesses, churches, and grain infrastructure. Housing values in the area are below the state benchmark and well below national medians, making homeownership relatively affordable for the region. The district itself, Eureka CUD 140, spans three towns: Congerville, Eureka, and Goodfield, with the district office and high school located in Eureka about ten miles away. Students advancing beyond fourth grade leave Congerville to attend school in Eureka. The district has not announced major shifts in curriculum or operations in recent years.
The school offers a straightforward elementary program within the bounds of a small rural district. A parent choosing this school should anticipate a setting where the school sits within the village community, where cohorts are small, and where the instructional scope reflects an early-grade focus. The fourth-grade mathematics result is worth examining with the school directly to understand whether it signals a localized dip or a broader pattern. For families planning to remain in the area, understanding the transition pathway to the middle and high school in Eureka is also practical groundwork.
