Rockton School District 140

Summary:

The Rockton School District 140 in Illinois consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Rockton Elementary School and Whitman Post Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Stephen Mack Middle School). The district serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 32.58% to 35.75%.

Stephen Mack Middle School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently achieving strong results on state assessments with 77.2% of students proficient or better in ELA and 45.7% in Math for the 2024-2025 school year. The school outperforms both the district and state averages in ELA and Math proficiency, and it has been ranked in the top 15% of Illinois middle schools, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Whitman Post Elementary School excels in Math, with 65.5% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district (55.3%) and state (38.5%) averages.

Despite the strong performance of some schools, the district as a whole faces a concerning challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates, with all three schools reporting a rate of 25.4% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than the state average. This issue may require targeted interventions and support to improve student attendance and engagement across the district.
