80 miles east of St. Louis, Mount Vernon looks like your typical small town. Main Street is lined with long-established buildings and businesses, but there’s a flourishing community atmosphere here.
There are quaint cottages and bungalows set among acres of land just outside the city center, with seven parks set within the town’s borders. Through April and October the town hosts Market Days, wherein an open-air market takes over the downtown area, offering crafts and more. The Cedarhurst Craft Fair is also a popular event, bringing the near 16,000 people of Mount Vernon out and about.
Developments have been slow and steady for this Illinois town, but new restaurants and businesses are opening every year. For those who still commute to work, I-57, I-64, and IL 15 will carry you anywhere you need to go.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
