Summary

Ramsey High School serves 181 students in grades 6–12 in Ramsey, Illinois. Its clearest academic strength is English language arts (ELA): 82% of students met proficiency on the 2025–2026 all-grades test, compared with 56% statewide and 72% in Ramsey CUSD 204. The main academic concern is math: 30% were proficient, 10 percentage points below the state and 11 below the district.

ELA also compares well with nearby schools: Ramsey was higher than Nokomis Junior/Senior High School and Beecher City Junior-Senior High School, while Cowden-Herrick Junior/Senior High School was the only nearby school with a higher comparable all-grades result. In math, Ramsey was above Beecher City and Cowden-Herrick but below Nokomis. Science results differ by grade: eighth-grade proficiency was 67%, versus 52% statewide, and Ramsey’s ninth-grade science result was the highest among nearby schools with reported scores; its 11th-grade result was 45%, below the state’s 48% and several nearby schools.

Results have moved in different directions: all-grades ELA rose from 67% in 2023–2024 to 82% in 2025–2026, while math fell from 36% to 30%. SchoolDigger placed Ramsey at the 73rd statewide percentile in 2025–2026, with 4 stars; its percentile rose from 52 the prior year, after reaching 76 in 2023–2024. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 11.5:1 in 2024–2025, and 67% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby-school average of about 51%. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves students with Low Socio Economic Status rose sharply, from the 22nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 93rd in 2025–2026, compared with its overall 73rd-percentile standing. Small enrollment and differences by grade and test are important context when reading year-to-year results.
