Summary:
Panhandle CUSD 2 serves 437 students in four schools, from prekindergarten through grade 12, in a small district in Illinois. The clearest pattern is that achievement varies by grade and subject: Lincolnwood Junior High School scored 9 percentage points above the state in all-grades English language arts (ELA), but 8 points below in math; at Raymond Grade School, fifth-grade results were strong while third-grade results lagged. The most important finding is that no single school or subject leads across the board.
Lincolnwood Junior High stands out for ELA: its 2025–26 result was 65%, compared with 56% statewide, and its grade 7 and 8 ELA results were also above state results. Raymond’s fifth graders scored 67% in both ELA and math, beating state results by 12 and 31 points, respectively; its third graders were 7 points below the state in ELA and 15 points below in math. At Lincolnwood High School, grade 11 ACT science was nearly even with the state, while ELA was 7 points below and math 14 points below. Farmersville Elementary School has no test scores listed. Because the schools serve different grades, the results do not support a direct achievement ranking between schools.
Results improved notably over time at the junior high and high school: junior-high all-grades ELA rose 22 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while high-school grade 11 ACT ELA, math, and science rose 25, 16, and 21 points. Raymond’s all-grades ELA improved 9 points, but math fell 10 points. SchoolDigger ranks the junior high at the 64th percentile, Raymond at the 53rd, and the high school at the 51st; these are rankings, not proficiency scores. In 2024–25, all four schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible rates, ranging from 36% at Raymond to 40% at the junior high. Student-teacher ratios ranged from 8.8 at Raymond to 12.5 at Farmersville.
