Summary

Manteno High School serves 587 students in grades 8–12 in Manteno, Illinois. The clearest academic concern is 10th-grade mathematics: 28% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 36% statewide and 29% at nearby schools on average; the result was also low the year before, at 25%.

The school’s strongest results vary by grade and subject. Ninth-grade ELA proficiency was 68%, above the state’s 62% and nearby schools’ 64% average. In 11th-grade ACT mathematics, Manteno’s 38% was well above the nearby-school average of 28%, though below the state’s 40%; ACT science was 48%, about even with the state and 9 points above nearby schools on average. Chronic absenteeism was 20%, below the state’s 24% but above the 15% reported for Manteno CUSD 5. The district’s reported test-score values match the school’s, so they do not provide a separate test-score benchmark.

SchoolDigger places Manteno at the 58th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, 4th among eight nearby schools; its standing fell 11 points from the prior year’s 69th percentile. Results show both improvement and continued gaps: ninth-grade ELA rose 7 points from the year before, while 10th-grade math improved 3 points but remained 9 points below the state. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 15.3, tied for the highest among nearby schools, and 35% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for low socioeconomic status students was at the 33rd percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 58th percentile. Its ranking for disabled students dropped from the 82nd percentile in 2022–2023 to the 30th in 2024–2025, when the school’s overall ranking was at the 69th percentile.
