Summary

Located in the small community of Earlville, Illinois, Earlville Junior/Senior High School serves 97 students in grades 9–12. The school’s latest SchoolDigger rating is 4 stars, at the 73rd percentile statewide for 2025–2026. Its strongest recent assessment results are in grades 10 and 11, but graduation outcomes are less favorable. The clearest concern is graduation: the rate was 77% in 2025–2026, 13 points below the state rate of 90% and second-lowest among nearby schools.

Compared with nearby schools, Earlville stands out in 11th-grade ACT results: it had the highest ELA and math proficiency and the second-highest science result. Its scores were 57% in ELA, 50% in math and 54% in science—7, 10 and 6 points above state results, respectively. Tenth-grade PreACT math and science were also local highs at 46% and 63%; its ELA score was 58%, second to Somonauk High School. Ninth-grade ELA is the clearest weakness: 57%, 4 points below the state and below the nearby-school average of 64%. The Earlville CUSD 9 reported the same test scores as the school.

Results have shifted: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ACT ELA rose from 37% to 57% and math from 37% to 50%, while ninth-grade ELA fell from 91% to 57%. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile rose from 29 in 2023–2024 to 79 in 2024–2025, then eased to 73; the latest rating is tied with Leland for the highest among nearby schools. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 7.5, compared with a nearby-school average of 12.4, and 38% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 98th percentile in 2024–2025, versus the school’s overall 79th percentile; for White Students, it was at the 44th percentile in 2025–2026, versus 73rd overall. With just 97 students and some scores suppressed, year-to-year results merit cautious interpretation.
