Summary

United Junior/Senior High School serves 445 students in grades 7–12 in Monmouth, Illinois. Its latest results show a clear contrast: English Language Arts (ELA) is a strength, while math is the main academic concern. In 2025–2026, 25% of students were proficient in all-grades IAR math, compared with 40% statewide and 39% in United CUSD 304.

ELA is where United stands out most. All-grades IAR proficiency was 73%, above the state’s 56% and the district’s 65%. United also led the nearby schools on grade 9 and 10 PreACT ELA, with 59% and 52% proficient; nearby results ranged from 36% to 48% and 38% to 49%, respectively. Math is less competitive: United’s grade 9 PreACT math proficiency was 21%, the lowest among the four nearby schools. Results vary by grade and test, though: United had the highest nearby grade 10 PreACT science rate, at 48%.

United’s IAR ELA proficiency edged up from 72% in 2024–2025 to 73% in 2025–2026, while math fell from 27% to 25%; the state math gap widened by 3 percentage points. SchoolDigger ranked United at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, the highest percentile among these nearby schools, but down from the 68th percentile in 2022–2023. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 13, below the nearby-school average of 14.1. Free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 39% in 2024–2025, less than at nearby schools with comparable data; this is context, not an explanation for results. Chronic absenteeism was 30% in 2025–2026, above the state’s 24%, even though graduation was 90%, matching the state rate. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings suggest stronger relative performance for Disabled Students (79th percentile in 2024–2025 versus 49th overall) and lower performance for White Students (12th percentile in 2025–2026 versus 33rd overall).
