Summary

In Flanagan, Illinois, Flanagan Elementary School serves 197 students from prekindergarten through eighth grade. Its latest all-grade results are below state levels in both English language arts (ELA) and math, but results vary notably by grade. The clearest bright spot is third-grade math: 69% of students were proficient, 20 percentage points above the state rate.

Compared with nearby schools serving through eighth grade, Flanagan’s results are mixed in ELA and weakest in all-grade math. Its 2025–2026 ELA proficiency was 42%—above Woodland Elementary/Junior High School at 38%, but below Graymont Elementary School at 49% and Cornell Elementary School at 61%. Its math rate was 31%, lower than all three: Woodland at 34%, Cornell at 37%, and Graymont at 51%. Flanagan’s all-grade ELA and math rates matched those of Flanagan-Cornell District 74, and both were below state rates. Fifth-grade science was close to the state rate: 46% compared with 48%; it was also higher than Washington Elementary School at 30%.

Math improved, while ELA stayed nearly flat: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, math rose from 20% to 31%, narrowing its gap with the state, while ELA remained at about 42% as the state rate increased. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing rose from the 42nd percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025 to the 53rd percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026. However, SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 group rankings point to weaker standing in serving some groups: Female Students were at the 16th percentile and Low Socio Economic Status Students at the 7th, compared with the school’s overall 42nd percentile. The 9.1 students-per-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 was among the lowest nearby, and 39% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. These are context, not explanations for test results; some grade-level results are suppressed, so they cannot show performance in every grade.
