Summary
Lena-Winslow High School serves 232 students in grades 9–12 in Lena, Illinois, and is one of eight nearby schools included in the comparisons. Its clearest academic strength is in grades 9 and 10: students scored above state levels in every reported subject. The main caution is that 11th-grade ACT results in 2025–2026, while still above state results, were substantially lower than the school’s prior-year results.
Compared with the state, grade 9 results were higher by 15 points in ELA, 30 in math, and 16 in science; grade 10 results were higher by 15, 13, and 9 points, respectively. Among nearby schools with comparable results, Lena-Winslow led in grade 10 ELA and math and grade 9 math. In 11th-grade ACT results, it ranked second of seven nearby schools in science, third of four in math, and fourth of seven in ELA. Its ACT results matched those of Lena Winslow CUSD 202. Graduation was 97%, compared with 90% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 7%, versus 24% statewide and 8% at Eastland Junior/Senior High School. Nearby comparisons are available only for matching grades and subjects.
The 11th-grade ACT trend is worth watching: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 25 points and math fell 21, while the state ELA result fell 2 points and state math rose 1. Chronic absenteeism, by contrast, improved by 8 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026. SchoolDigger placed Lena-Winslow in the 84th statewide percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, tied with Eastland; it had ranked in the 89th percentile the previous year. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 12 in 2024–2025, and 37% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby-school average of 38%. One older SchoolDigger subgroup result stands out: in 2018–2019, its Special Education Students ranking was at the 35th statewide percentile, compared with the school’s overall 71st percentile—a 36-point gap in the measure of how well it served that group.
