Summary:
High schools in Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 consist of one school, Moline Senior High School, serving grades 9–12 with 2,195 students. In 2025–26, the school’s reported test results were below state results in every matched subject-and-grade comparison. Across the reported comparisons, its descriptive averages were 48% in English language arts versus 55% statewide, 39% in science versus 48%, and 28% in mathematics versus 39%. Mathematics is the clearest academic challenge, with the largest average gap: 11 points below the state.
With only one school in the list, there is no meaningful local school-to-school ranking, and all-grades IAR results are unavailable. Among the reported results, English language arts was strongest relative to the state and mathematics weakest. The closest individual comparison was grade 10 PreACT English language arts, at 48% versus 54% statewide, a 6-point gap. The largest was grade 10 PreACT mathematics, at 23% versus 36%, a 13-point gap. These results point to academic differences by subject, but no school in the area can be identified as a local leader or trailer.
Recent science results show improvement relative to the state in some grades, with an exception in grade 10. Grade 11 ACT science rose from 33% in 2024–25 to 39% in 2025–26 as the school-state gap narrowed by 7 points; the grade 9 gap also narrowed by 3 points. In grade 10 PreACT science, scores fell for both the school and state, and the gap widened by 1 point. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking also declined, from the 44th percentile in 2023–24 to the 31st in 2025–26. Other indicators are mixed: chronic absenteeism was 29% in 2025–26, 6 points above the state rate, while graduation was 88%, 2 points below. In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 18.3:1 and 55% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible.
