Schuyler-Industry CUSD 5 serves 730 students in three schools spanning kindergarten through grade 12: Webster Elementary School (K–4), Schuyler Industry Middle School (grades 5–8), and Rushville-Industry High School (grades 9–12). In 2025–2026, the reported school results were below state levels in most key comparisons: Webster’s all-grades IAR results were 40% in ELA and 30% in math, while the state scored 56% and 40%; the middle school scored 29% and 23% in those subjects. At the high school, 11th-grade ACT results were 38% in ELA, 23% in math, and 36% in science, each below the state. The largest gaps are in middle-school ELA and high-school math.

Webster stands out among the two schools with all-grades IAR results, leading the middle school by 12 points in ELA (40% versus 29%) and 8 points in math (30% versus 23%). The middle school has a notable bright spot in fifth-grade science: 50% were proficient, 3 points above the state’s 48%; however, eighth-grade ELA was the weakest comparison, at 19% versus 63% statewide, a 44-point gap. At the high school, 11th-grade ACT math was also a particular challenge: 23% versus 40% statewide, a 17-point gap. These differences show that strengths and needs vary by grade and subject, even within the same school.
