Summary:
The elementary-school list for Emmons School District 33 contains one school, Emmons Grade School, a K–8 school serving 288 students. Its 2025–2026 results are above Illinois’s in every reported tested subject and grade, with all-grades results 17 percentage points higher in English language arts (74% versus 56%) and 19 points higher in math (58% versus 40%).
Because there is only one school, there is no local top-to-bottom school comparison; the clearest standouts and softer spots are among grade-level results. Fifth grade is strongest relative to the state: Emmons was 93% proficient in ELA versus 55% statewide, a 38-point lead, and 83% in science versus 48%, a 35-point lead; fifth-grade math was also 33 points higher. Fourth-grade math is the most notable relative soft spot: 45% versus 42% statewide, a 3-point advantage. Results vary by grade, too: within the school, ELA ranged from 65% in fourth grade to 93% in fifth grade, while math ranged from 45% in fourth grade to 77% in third.
Results improved modestly in ELA and math from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while the school’s leads over Illinois changed little: Emmons ELA rose 4 points and math rose 1 point. Science gains were larger: fifth-grade results increased 20 points and eighth-grade results 17 points, with Emmons gaining more than the state in both grades. SchoolDigger awards the school 4 stars and ranks it 334 of 1,737 schools, in the 81st percentile for 2025–2026; its reported percentile rose from 77 to 79 to 81 over three years. Other context includes a 10.1 student-teacher ratio and 23% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, plus 12% chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 compared with 24% statewide. With just one school in the list, these figures cannot show how similar local schools compare.
