Summary

Mulberry Grove Senior High School is a small public high school serving 108 students in grades 9–12 in Mulberry Grove, Illinois. Its most serious reported academic concern is 11th-grade ACT performance in 2024–2025: 24% were proficient in English language arts, compared with 52% statewide, and 19% were proficient in math, compared with 39% statewide. The school’s ELA score was below every nearby school reporting a same-year result; in math, only Patoka Senior High School scored lower. The district’s scores matched the school’s. The school’s 2025–2026 11th-grade ACT results are suppressed, so it is not possible to tell whether this pattern continued.

There are also important strengths: the reported 2025–2026 graduation rate was 100%, compared with 90% statewide, and it exceeded the rate at every nearby school reporting one. Attendance is a concern, however: chronic absenteeism was 27%, 4 points above the state rate and 6 points above the Mulberry Grove CUSD 1 rate. Recent 10th-grade ELA results were more encouraging: 50% were proficient in 2025–2026, matching Hillsboro High School and Brownstown High School, and just 4 points below the state. In 2024–2025, 9th-grade ELA was a relative bright spot at 67%, 4 points above the state, though 9th-grade math was 5 points below it.

Results have improved in some areas, but the school’s standing is still around the middle-to-lower range among nearby schools. SchoolDigger ranked Mulberry Grove 380th of 620 schools in 2025–2026, at the 39th percentile with 2 stars; its percentile had risen 29 points from 2020–2021. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also differ notably: its 2024–2025 ranking for Male Students was at the 60th percentile, compared with 34th overall, while its ranking for White Students was at the 16th percentile. The school had 13.5 students per teacher in 2024–2025, the second-highest reported ratio among nearby schools, and 47% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby-school average of 50%. These figures provide context, not explanations for student outcomes.
