Dimmick Community Consolidated School District #175

Dimmick Community Consolidated School District #175 has one school, Dimmick Community Cons School District 175, serving kindergarten through grade 8, with 153 students. The most important finding is that the school’s latest all-grades results were well above Illinois averages in both subjects: in 2025–2026, ELA proficiency was 80% compared with 56% statewide, a 24-point lead, and math proficiency was 51% compared with 40%, a 12-point lead.

There is no local top or bottom school to compare: Dimmick is the only school in the list, so it stands out relative to the state, not to other nearby schools in this data. Its reported 2025–2026 grade-level results were also above state results in every grade with a school figure: ELA leads were 32 points in grade 3, 31 in grade 4, 18 in grade 5 and 28 in grade 7; math leads were 38 points in grade 3 and 25 in grade 4. An earlier exception is science: in 2024–2025, grade 5 was 10 points below the state and grade 8 was 3 points below. Some grade-level and current science scores are suppressed, and the one-school list does not allow school-to-school comparisons.

Results improved between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, and the school’s advantage over the state widened in both subjects. ELA rose from 67% to 80%, while its lead grew from 14 to 24 points; math rose from 39% to 51%, moving from even with the state to 12 points ahead. SchoolDigger ranked Dimmick 148th of 1,737 schools, at the 91st percentile, in 2025–2026, compared with the 75th percentile in 2023–2024 and 76th in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 11%, versus 24% statewide. The school reported an 11.9:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 13% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2021–2022; the older income figure is context, not an explanation for current results.
