East Alton-Wood River CHSD 14

The East Alton-Wood River CHSD 14 list has one public high school, East Alton-Wood River High School, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 539 students. In 2025–2026, its graduation rate was higher than the state’s, but its proficiency results were lower in every reported subject-and-grade comparison. The most important finding is that the school trailed the state in all nine test comparisons, by 12 to 22 percentage points.

East Alton-Wood River High School is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in this list by default; with no other schools listed, that is not a meaningful local ranking. Its smallest state test gap was 12 points in grade 10 ELA, and its largest was 22 points in grade 11 science. A positive contrast is graduation: 96% at the school versus 90% statewide, a 6-point advantage. Chronic absenteeism went the other way, at 31% versus 24% statewide, an 8-point gap. These measures describe different outcomes and do not explain why the results differ.

Results changed in different directions by grade. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, grade 11 scores fell by 12 points in ELA, 5 in math and 13 in science, while grade 10 scores rose by 10, 5 and 4 points, respectively; grade 9 rose in ELA and math but fell by 2 points in science. The school’s relative position improved in grades 9 and 10, while its grade 11 gaps widened. SchoolDigger’s history shows a decline from the 40th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 18th in 2025–2026, though its current listing reports the 8th percentile, so the latest ranking figures conflict. For context, in 2024–2025, the school had a 16.3 student-teacher ratio and 69% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Because this list contains only one school, it cannot show how these figures compare with nearby or similar schools.
