Summary:
Rondout School District 72 has one listed school, Rondout Elementary School, serving kindergarten through eighth grade. In 2025–2026, the school’s all-grades proficiency was well above Illinois in both English language arts (ELA) and math: 77% versus 56% in ELA, a 21-point advantage, and 62% versus 40% in math, a 23-point advantage. The most important takeaway is that the sole school in the district’s list performed substantially above the state in both subjects.
There is no meaningful top-to-bottom comparison among schools because Rondout is the only one listed. Its strongest reported grade-level results relative to the state were in eighth grade: math proficiency was 83% versus 35%, a 49-point lead; science was 92% versus 52%, a 40-point lead; and ELA was 100% versus 63%, a 37-point lead. Across grades, ELA results ranged from 53% in third grade to 100% in eighth, while math ranged from 57% in seventh to 83% in eighth. SchoolDigger ranked the school 244th of 1,737 schools, in the 86th percentile, with four stars in 2025–2026; it ranked the district 62nd of 738, in the 92nd percentile, with five stars.
Results rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, but the state comparison shifted differently by subject: ELA increased by 2 points as the state rose by 3, narrowing the school’s lead from 22 points to 21; math increased by 3 points as the state rose by 1, widening its lead from 21 points to 23. SchoolDigger’s school ranking also dipped from the 85th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 80th in 2024–2025, then rebounded to the 86th in 2025–2026, with four stars each year. Chronic absenteeism was 14%, compared with 24% statewide. Other context includes an 8.4 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 6% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2021–2022. With only one school listed, these figures cannot support school-to-school comparisons.
