Original Research by School Decision on V I T Elementary School
V I T Elementary School serves children from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Table Grove, a very small rural village in western Fulton County. The school sits on a consolidated campus on U.S. Route 136 and is part of the V I T Community Unit School District 2, which consolidated Vermont, Ipava, and Table Grove decades ago.
Enrollment is small, around a mid-sized cohort across seven grade bands, with the student body very predominantly white and drawn from the village and surrounding rural area. Free-or-reduced-price-lunch data was not available. The school appears to serve primarily families in the immediate locality; this is a place with minimal commercial activity and a population on a slow decline, so the families who choose or stay with this school are rooted in or committed to the rural community.
The state assessment results from spring 2025 show proficiency across subjects and grades that is substantially below what other districts in Fulton County are achieving. In third-grade English language arts, roughly a third of students demonstrated proficiency; in third-grade math, about a fifth. By fourth grade, math proficiency drops sharply, with no students meeting proficiency that year. Fifth-grade results improve somewhat in English language arts, approaching closer to two-fifths proficient, but in math only a handful of fifth graders were proficient, and in science proficiency sits at about a quarter. Grades six through eight are not part of this building, so there are no results for those grades here.
It is important to note that Illinois changed its proficiency cut scores for the state assessments in 2024-25, which means year-to-year comparisons are not possible; the data shown reflects the current, higher proficiency bar. A parent may want to look into the school's approach to math and early literacy support with the school directly, as the gap between this school's performance and county peers is notable.
The school offers the standard elementary curriculum. No information about specialized programs, enrichment pathways, or staffing particulars was available in the data provided. The school is a regular public school within the district; it is not a charter, magnet, or Title I-designated building.
The village and its schools exist in a rural, declining-population context. There is no public transit, and the school campus is rural and remote. Families here tend to have deep community ties, rely on private transportation, and view education in the context of a small, stable (if slowly shrinking) place. If your family is considering this school, you would be looking at a genuinely small-town elementary environment with current academic proficiency well below the county median, located in a place where the economy centers on agriculture, the school district itself, and commuting to nearby towns for work and services.
