Summary:
The five schools in Eureka CUD 140 serve students from elementary through high school in the Eureka area. The three elementary schools averaged 80% proficiency in English language arts (ELA) and 78% in math in 2025–2026, above state rates of 56% and 40%. Eureka Middle School also exceeded state results in both subjects, and Eureka High School was above the state in every reported ACT and PreACT comparison. The key finding for families is that strong overall results coexist with sizeable differences among the elementary schools, especially in math.
The elementary school that stands out depends on the subject: Congerville Elementary School led in ELA at 89%, 7 points above Goodfield Elementary School and 20 above Davenport Elementary School. Goodfield led math at 89%, 3 points above Congerville and 31 above Davenport. Davenport had the lowest elementary results in both subjects, though it improved year over year. Eureka Middle scored 78% in ELA and 58% in math, respectively 22 and 18 points above state results. At Eureka High, grade 11 ACT results were 7 to 18 points above state levels; grade 9 PreACT results were especially strong in math and science, at 28 and 27 points above the state.
Elementary math improved substantially over time: the three-school average rose from 63% in 2024–2025 to 78% in 2025–2026, while average ELA was nearly unchanged and its margin over the state narrowed from 27 to 24 points. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide rankings put Congerville at the 98th percentile, ahead of Eureka High at the 87th, Eureka Middle at the 86th and Davenport at the 75th; Goodfield’s latest supplied ranking is older. As context, all five schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025, ranging from 6% at Congerville to 32% at Davenport. Student-teacher ratios ranged from 11.1 at Goodfield to 16.8 at Congerville, so these measures offer context rather than a simple explanation of school results.
