Best Public Schools in Eureka, IL

Summary:

The city of Eureka, Illinois is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Eureka High School, Eureka Middle School, and Davenport Elementary School, all part of the Eureka CUD 140 district.

Among the three schools, Eureka High School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the best high schools in Illinois and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive 11th grade test scores that exceed the state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, as well as a strong 89% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.4% dropout rate.

The district as a whole faces a challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, an area that warrants further investigation and improvement efforts.
