Summary:
Grant CHSD 124 has one listed school, Grant Community High School, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 1,769 students. The clearest academic concern is grade 10 ELA: the school scored 44%, compared with 54% statewide, a gap of 9 percentage points.
Science is the school’s strongest subject relative to Illinois, though results differ by grade: grade 11 science was 50% versus 48% statewide, and grade 9 science was 49% versus 47%; grade 10 science was 47% versus 48%. Across the three grade comparisons, science averaged about 1 point above the state, while ELA averaged 5 points below and math 3 points below. Grade 9 math is another notable weakness, at 35% compared with 42% statewide, a 8-point gap. Because there is only one school in the district, there are no within-district top or bottom schools to compare.
Results changed unevenly from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: grade 10 ELA fell 9 points and grade 9 ELA fell 5 points, while grade 11 science rose 4 points. SchoolDigger ranked Grant Community High School 286th of 620 schools, at the 54th percentile, in 2025–2026; the prior year it ranked 240th of 698, at the 66th percentile. Other measures offer context: graduation was about 90%, close to the state’s roughly 90%; dropout was 2%, about 1 point lower than the state; and chronic absenteeism was 24% at both levels. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 14.9 in 2024–2025, and 48% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
