How Reservoir Gifted School compares with Illinois and U.S. medians
What stands out at Reservoir Gifted School
Teacher staffing is the clearest operational constraint
Reservoir Gifted School's enrollment sits away from the most extreme size bands, but its reported student-teacher ratio is heavier than most Illinois schools. That isolates staffing load as a more useful concern than raw campus size. A high ratio does not establish weak teaching or outcomes, yet it can indicate less adult capacity per enrolled student. The remaining federal indicators show whether support staffing and program access offset that pressure.
Attendance is a relative strength
1.9% of Reservoir Gifted School students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 civil-rights collection. On its face, that is a comparatively low historical rate, though this page does not treat it as a current national benchmark or guarantee current-year performance. Here, attendance is a more distinctive signal than the presence or absence of any single specialist role.
Reservoir Gifted School is a mid-sized elementary school in Peoria, Illinois, enrolling 308 students.
Class loads run heavy: 19.3:1 is larger than about 94% of Illinois schools and 38% above the 14:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
With 308 students, its enrollment sits close to the Illinois median campus size.
Its Resource Investment Index outscores 91% of the 3,845 Illinois schools with a score on record, a top-tier result on this measure.
Its student body is led by White (54%) and African American (17%), more mixed than most schools in the state (diversity index 64/100).
Counselor coverage runs a bit thin, about 308 students per counselor, somewhat past the ASCA-recommended 250:1 benchmark.
Attendance holds up well here: only 1.9% of students were chronically absent, below the typical post-pandemic national figure.
Its district draws 17.7% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Peoria's elementary schools, it stands alongside Lincoln School (823 students): Reservoir Gifted School is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (19.3:1 vs 16.8:1).
Peoria Sd 150 also operates Richwoods High School (1,685 students) and Peoria High School (1,541 students) alongside Reservoir Gifted School.
