Responses to the October issue of the West Peoria News indicated that several schools attended by West Peoria students had been left out. The list below is a more complete accounting of where West Peoria students go to school. Enrollment figures at all the schools were difficult to ascertain because West Peoria addresses are all designated as Peoria 61604 addresses. Consequently, all schools, including District 150, remain relatively unaware of the impact that West Peoria makes on their enrollment. Both Hollis Consolidated Schools and Peoria Christian (elementary – high school) were unable to provide figures because of time constraints in identifying West Peoria addresses. A total of 355 West Peoria students attend District 150 schools (153 in preschool-4th grade, in 122 middle school, 80 high school). A total of 120 West Peoria students attend the other schools listed below (85 in preschool-8th grade, 34 in high school)
