ELA was above the state in every reported grade, while math was above the state in grades 3 through 6 but 4 points below in grade 7 (36% versus 40%). Eighth-grade science was also below the state, at 41% versus 52%, an 11-point gap. Attendance is a relative strength: chronic absenteeism was 12%, compared with 24% statewide.
Recent results shifted in different directions by subject: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, all-grades ELA fell from 75% to 66%, narrowing the school’s advantage over Illinois from 22 points to 10; math rose from 49% to 53%, widening its advantage from 10 points to 13.

SchoolDigger rated the school 4 stars and at the 75th percentile in 2025–2026, similar to 4 stars and the 76th percentile the year before; it was at the 80th percentile in 2023–2024. Context figures include a 12.2 student-teacher ratio and 49% of students free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Because this is the only listed school, local school-to-school comparisons are unavailable, and year-to-year results are school-level snapshots rather than results tracking the same students.
