Summary:

Massac UD 1 has seven schools—five elementary schools, one middle school and one high school—serving students from elementary through high school in the Massac area. The clearest pattern is that elementary proficiency is generally above state rates, but results vary substantially by school: the five-school averages were 73% in ELA, 63% in math and 67% in fifth-grade science, while the gaps between the highest- and lowest-scoring schools were 16, 36 and 41 percentage points, respectively.

Jefferson Elementary School led the elementary schools in all-grades ELA, math and fifth-grade science, with 79% in each. Franklin Elementary School was close behind in all-grades ELA and math, at 78% and 77%, and led fourth-grade ELA and math; both schools were at the 93rd percentile and earned five stars in SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 rankings. At the other end, Metropolis Elementary School had the lowest all-grades results: 63% in ELA, 42% in math and 38% in fifth-grade science. Massac Junior High School stands out in ELA, with 76% overall versus 56% statewide, while its 48% math result was less far above the state’s 40%. At Massac County High School, grade 11 ELA was above the state rate, but math and science were below; graduation was 97% versus 90% statewide.

Recent changes are mixed: elementary science’s five-school average rose from 51% to 67% from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while the average state-relative advantage in math narrowed from 25 to 23 points. Brookport Elementary School gained 24 percentile points in SchoolDigger’s ranking from 2023–24 to 2025–26, though it did not lead current proficiency results; Unity Elementary School improved in both all-grades ELA and math. Attendance and school context also differ: Franklin’s chronic absenteeism was 3%, compared with 24% statewide, while the junior high and high school were at 29% and 30%. For 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 47% at Franklin and 47% at Jefferson to 84% at Brookport. These measures offer context, not an explanation for achievement.
