Summary

Mount Pulaski High School in Mount Pulaski, Illinois, serves 178 students in grades 9–12. Its latest results are uneven by grade and subject, but 11th-grade ACT performance is a clear strength: in 2025–26, proficiency was 65% in English language arts, 54% in math and 65% in science, beating state rates by 15, 14 and 17 percentage points, respectively. The most important takeaway is that the school’s current 11th-grade ACT results are strong across all three subjects compared with the state.

Compared with nearby schools, Mount Pulaski’s 11th-grade ACT scores were above the average in every subject, with the largest advantage in math: 54% versus 36%, a 17-point lead. Among seven nearby schools with reported results, Mount Pulaski ranked second in math and fourth in both ELA and science. The school and district results were identical. Results are less consistent in other grades: ninth-grade science proficiency was 63%, 16 points above the state and the highest reported nearby score, while 10th-grade ELA was 52%, 2 points below the state. That ELA result was also below reported results at Maroa-Forsyth Senior High School, Williamsville High School and Warrensburg-Latham High School.

Scores have changed considerably over time: 11th-grade ACT ELA rose 22 points and math rose 17 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while 10th-grade ELA fell 17 points between those years. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking improved from the 34th percentile in 2022–23 to the 81st percentile and four stars in 2025–26, though that rise does not appear equally across reported student groups: in 2024–25, its special education ranking was at the 10th percentile, versus the school’s overall 77th percentile; its low socioeconomic status ranking was at the 90th percentile. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 9.5, among the lowest nearby, and 42% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, close to the nearby-school average of 42%.
