Summary:
Fisher, Illinois, has two schools serving grades K–6 and 7–12: Fisher Grade School enrolls 326 students, and Fisher Junior/Senior High School enrolls 284. In 2025–26, both schools’ reported All Grades IAR results were above state results: the grade school was 11 percentage points above the state in ELA and 8 in math, while the high school was 25 points above in ELA and 15 in math. The clearest overall takeaway is that results are above state levels in both schools, but performance varies substantially by grade and subject.
The high school has the highest reported All Grades results, but those figures are not grade-matched because the schools serve different grade spans. Grade-by-grade results show notable strengths at both schools: the grade school’s grade 3 ELA proficiency was 75%, compared with 48% statewide, and the high school’s grade 7 math was 65%, versus 40% statewide. The main weak spots were grade 4 math at the grade school, at 28% versus 42% statewide, and grade 9 PreACT science at the high school, at 34% versus 47%; high school grade 11 ACT math was also below state results, at 33% versus 40%. SchoolDigger gives both schools three stars.
Recent changes were strongest at the high school: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, its IAR results rose 20 percentage points in ELA and 21 in math. The grade school’s ELA rose 5 points, while its math fell 1 point. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking declined over the same three-year period, from 84 to 54 for the high school and from 69 to 57 for the grade school. The high school has a lower student-teacher ratio (12.6 versus 13.8) and a lower 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible rate (29% versus 39%); these are contextual differences, not explanations for results. Chronic absenteeism is lower at the grade school, at 6% versus 19% at the high school, while the high school graduation rate is 93%.
