Summary

Ridgeview High School in Colfax, Illinois, serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 166 students. Its academic picture is mixed: graduation is a relative strength, while many test results fall below state and nearby-school results. The clearest overall takeaway is that students graduate at a high rate even though tested proficiency is often weaker.

Science results vary sharply by grade. Ninth-grade science proficiency was 56%, about 9 points above the state result, and the third-highest among the eight nearby schools; tenth- and 11th-grade science were 10 and 11 points below state results, respectively, and 11th-grade science was the lowest locally. Across other tests, results generally trailed the state and most nearby schools: Ridgeview ranked sixth of eight in 11th-grade ACT math, and its 11th-grade ACT English language arts result was above only Bloomington among the nearby schools. Graduation stands out in contrast: 94% of students graduated in 2025–2026, matching the district and exceeding the state’s 90%; nearby rates ranged from 88% to 100%.

Recent trends are mixed: ninth- and 10th-grade PreACT English language arts results rose by about 3 percentage points, while 11th-grade ACT English language arts fell by 7 points and ACT math fell by 12. SchoolDigger ranks Ridgeview at the 46th percentile and gives it 2 stars for 2025–2026; its percentile rose from 25 in 2022–2023 to 51 in 2024–2025 before easing to 46. The student-teacher ratio was 9.2 in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools with comparable data, and spending was the highest locally at $25,233 per student. In 2023–2024, 28% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; nearby figures are from a different school year. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves female students placed Ridgeview at the 64th percentile, compared with its overall 46th percentile.
