Valmeyer High School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, ranking 202 out of 697 Illinois high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school has a high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%.

While Valmeyer Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in 3rd grade IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics proficiency rates, the district as a whole struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% across all three schools. Additionally, the relatively low spending per student and student-teacher ratios suggest the district may be facing resource constraints that could impact educational outcomes, particularly at Valmeyer Junior High, which appears to be the weakest performer in the district with low test scores and a low statewide ranking.
