Summary:
Edinburg, Illinois, has three small schools in Edinburg CUSD 4, serving prekindergarten through grade 12, with enrollments ranging from 62 to 76 students. The clearest recent contrast is at Edinburg High: ninth graders in 2025–2026 scored above state rates in PreACT Secure ELA, math, and science—86%, 79%, and 71%, respectively—while the school’s eleventh graders had lower-than-state ACT proficiency the previous year in those subjects. The most important takeaway is that results vary sharply by grade and assessment, so no single score captures the full picture of these schools.
Edinburg Elementary stands out in the comparable all-grades IAR results: in 2025–2026, 50% were proficient in ELA, compared with 36% at Edinburg Junior High, a 14-percentage-point lead. Elementary was 6 points below the state rate, while Junior High was 21 points below. Elementary also led Junior High in 2024–2025 by 2 points in ELA and 6 points in math, though both schools scored below the state in both subjects. High School’s ninth-grade PreACT results were the strongest local comparison with the state: its advantage was 24 points in ELA, 37 in math, and 24 in science.
All three schools’ SchoolDigger ranking histories improved over the available periods, with the biggest jump at High School: from the 9th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 92nd percentile and a five-star rating in 2025–2026. Junior High rose from the 26th to the 48th percentile, and Elementary from the 21st to the 29th. ELA proficiency also increased from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, by 18 points at Elementary and 6 at Junior High, although Junior High remained farther below the state. Student-teacher ratios range from 8.9 at Elementary to 10.3 at High School; in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 63% at Elementary, 55% at Junior High, and 53% at High School. These small schools’ results can reflect small groups of students, and comparisons are most useful when they match by grade, subject, and year.
