Summary

Flora High School is a public school in Flora, Illinois, serving grades 9–12, with 353 students in Flora CUSD 35. Its results vary notably by grade: tenth-grade English language arts (ELA) is above the state level, while ninth-grade ELA is below it. Mathematics is the clearest concern: in 2025–2026, ninth-grade math proficiency was 28%, compared with 42% statewide, a 14-point gap. That ninth-grade math result is the most important academic weakness in the latest results.

Compared with the state, tenth-grade ELA is a bright spot: 59% of Flora students were proficient, versus 54% statewide, while ninth-grade ELA was 55%, versus 62%. Flora’s 11th-grade math proficiency was 32%, below the state’s 40%. Nearby comparisons show some strengths, but results are not available for every school and grade: Flora’s ninth-grade ELA result was below Cisne High School and Clay City High School, but above North Clay Community High School. Flora’s reported test results match its district’s in each listed subject and year. Chronic absenteeism was 17% in 2025–2026—below the state’s 24%, but above the district’s 13%. Graduation was 81%, compared with 90% statewide.

Results and rankings have shifted over time. Flora’s ninth-grade math proficiency fell from 35% to 28% between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, while its SchoolDigger ranking dropped from the 67th percentile and 3 stars to the 42nd percentile and 2 stars. Chronic absenteeism improved from 39% in 2021–2022 to 17% in 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, 44% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby-school average of 48%; the student-teacher ratio was 11.9. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 69th percentile in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall 42nd percentile. For Disabled Students, its 2024–2025 ranking was at the 0th percentile, compared with the overall 67th percentile—an especially low relative ranking for that group.
