Summary:

The Rantoul City School District 137 consists of 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school, serving students from pre-K through 8th grade. The district faces significant challenges, with low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and declining statewide rankings across most of its schools.

Among the standout schools, Northview Elementary School has the highest performance on English Language Arts and Math assessments compared to the other elementary schools in the district. In 2024-2025, 27.3% of Northview students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district average of 26%, and 10% were proficient in math, versus 8.5% district-wide. As the only middle school in the data set, J.W. Eater Junior High School also stands out, with the highest ELA and Math proficiency rates in the district at the middle school level, though still below state averages.

The district faces significant resource challenges, with all schools having very high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 85.48% to 96.92%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, with all schools in the district having a rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average. Addressing these resource needs and learning gaps will be critical to improving outcomes across the Rantoul City School District 137.
