Summary:
Tremont, Illinois, has three public schools serving preschool through grade 12: Tremont Elementary School (PK–4), Tremont Middle School (grades 5–8), and Tremont High School (grades 9–12). They enroll 883 students combined, or about 300 each. The clearest shared strength is that both schools reporting IAR results exceeded state averages in both subjects in 2025–26: their equal-weighted ELA average was 67% versus 56% statewide, and their math average was 48% versus 40%—advantages of 11 and 8 percentage points.
Tremont Middle School leads the elementary and middle schools in both all-grades subjects: 73% in ELA compared with 62% at Tremont Elementary School, an 11-point lead, and 49% in math compared with 47%, a 2-point lead. SchoolDigger also ranks Tremont High School highest locally, at the 88th statewide percentile (74th of 620, four stars); Middle is at the 74th percentile and Elementary at the 52nd. Elementary’s grade-level results vary sharply: fourth-grade ELA was 76%, 20 points above the state, while third-grade ELA was 44%, 4 points below. High’s graduation rate was 94%, 5 points above the state.
Recent results show different trends across schools and grades. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, Elementary’s all-grades ELA and math results fell by 7 and 8 points, and its state advantage narrowed; Middle’s ELA fell by 1 point while its math rose by 1. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking also fell 22 points for Elementary and 11 for Middle, while High’s rose 2. At High, ninth-grade PreACT results improved by 10 points in ELA, 16 in math, and 13 in science, while eleventh-grade ACT results fell 13 points in ELA and 16 in math. Student-teacher ratios range from 11.7 at High to 15.9 at Elementary. In 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 18% at High, 19% at Middle, and 25% at Elementary; these are context, not an explanation of results. Chronic absenteeism was below the state rate at all three schools. High-school results are not directly comparable with IAR results.
