Summary
Fieldcrest High School is a 254-student school serving grades 9–12 in Minonk, Illinois. Its latest results show a sharp difference by grade: 10th- and 11th-grade scores are generally above state rates, while 9th-grade scores fall below state rates in all three subjects. The most important finding is that strong upper-grade performance—especially in 10th-grade math—coexists with a significant weakness in 9th grade.
Math is the clearest strength compared with nearby schools and the state: 54% of Fieldcrest 10th graders met proficiency in math, versus 36% statewide, ranking second among nearby schools with reported results, behind Metamora High School. Fieldcrest’s 11th-grade ACT results were also above state rates in ELA, math, and science; its ELA result was third-highest among nearby schools with scores. By contrast, 10th-grade science was only 2 points above the state, and 9th-grade ELA, math, and science were 8, 6, and 8 points below state rates. All six nearby schools with reported 9th-grade math results scored higher. The district’s SchoolDigger standing is at the 51st percentile, below the school’s 68th-percentile standing.
