Summary:
Emmons School District 33 has one listed school, Emmons Grade School, serving kindergarten through 8th grade and enrolling 288 students. Its strongest overall finding is that 2025–2026 results were above Illinois averages in both all-grades subjects: 74% of students were proficient in ELA compared with 56% statewide, and 58% in mathematics compared with 40% statewide.
Because only one school is listed, school-to-school comparisons are not possible. The strongest grade-level results were in 5th grade: ELA proficiency was 93%, 38 percentage points above the state, and science proficiency was 83%, 35 points above the state; 5th-grade mathematics was also strong at 69%, 33 points above Illinois. The clearest relative weak spot was 4th-grade mathematics, where 45% were proficient—just 3 points above the state and the lowest listed grade-level ELA or math result. Even there, 4th-grade ELA was 65%, 9 points above Illinois.
Results improved over time, with the biggest gains in science: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, all-grades ELA rose 4 points, from 70% to 74%, and mathematics rose 1 point, from 57% to 58%; 5th-grade science increased 20 points to 83%, while 8th-grade science rose 17 points to 70%. SchoolDigger gives the school 4 stars, and its statewide percentile ranking climbed from 77 in 2023–2024 to 81 in 2025–2026. Context measures include a student-teacher ratio of 10.1 in 2024–2025 and 23% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that school year; these describe the school but do not explain its results.
