Summary

Ingersoll Middle School in Canton, Illinois, serves 631 students in grades 5–8. Its 2025–26 results show a split between English Language Arts (ELA), which is close to state and district levels overall, and mathematics, where results are notably lower. About 31% of students were proficient in math, compared with 40% statewide and 37% in the district—gaps of 9 and 7 percentage points. The clearest concern is that math scores have improved, but not enough to keep pace with the state.

ELA is a relative strength overall: about 57% of students were proficient, roughly in line with the state and Canton Union School District 66, though 4 points below the nearby-school average. Results vary sharply by grade: seventh-grade ELA was 8 points above the state, while eighth grade was 8 points below. Math is weaker than the nearby-school average, with sixth-grade proficiency at 24%, 12 points below the state; seventh grade was stronger, about level with the state. Current science results also vary by grade: fifth-grade proficiency was 45%, while eighth grade was 48%. The supplied figures do not provide a comparable current all-grades science result.

Over time, all-grades ELA proficiency rose 19 points from 2023–24 to 2025–26, and math rose 9 points, but the math gap with the state widened. Chronic absenteeism improved, falling 10 points from 2021–22 to 2025–26; the latest rate was 4 points below the state and about level with the district. SchoolDigger gives Ingersoll a 39th-percentile ranking and 2 stars in 2025–26, the second-lowest percentile among seven nearby schools with rankings; its percentile fell 23 points from 2021–22. SchoolDigger’s ranking for White students was 15th percentile, down from 33rd in 2023–24, compared with 39th percentile overall; this ranking reflects the school’s results for that group, not the students themselves. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 12.8, near the nearby average of 12.5. In 2024–25, 56% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby-school average of 48%.
