Summary:

Taylor Ridge, Illinois, has three schools serving 702 students, with listed grade spans of K–2 at Taylor Ridge Elementary School, grades 6–8 at Rockridge Junior High School, and grades 9–12 at Rockridge High School. The clearest overall takeaway is that the high school pairs a strong graduation rate with a pronounced weakness in ACT science.

Rockridge High School stands out for graduation and ACT English language arts and math: its 2025–2026 graduation rate was 95%, 5 percentage points above the state, and ACT English language arts and math were 52% and 45%, versus 50% and 40% statewide. Its ACT science result was notably lower at 26%, compared with 48% statewide, and its 18% chronic absenteeism was the highest locally. Rockridge Junior High School was close to the state on all-grades IAR results, with 58% in English language arts versus 56% statewide and 39% in math versus 40%; its 8th-grade science result was a standout at 63%, 11 points above the state. Its main concern is 6th grade, below the state in both IAR subjects. Taylor Ridge Elementary School had the lowest chronic absenteeism, 8% compared with the state’s 24%, but no test scores are listed.

Junior-high all-grades IAR results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: English language arts rose 8 points and math 6 points, while state gains were 3 and 1 points. High-school changes were mixed: 11th-grade ACT English language arts and math rose 5 points each, but science fell 14 points; 9th-grade PreACT Secure English language arts and science fell 12 and 23 points. SchoolDigger gives the high school and junior high three stars, at the 62nd and 52nd percentiles, respectively; those percentiles are down 12 and 13 points from 2023–2024. In 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios ranged from 12.8 at the high school to 14.1 at the elementary school, and free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 21% to 23%. The elementary school has no listed test results, and the different schools’ scores do not support a fair three-school test-score ranking.
