Summary

Rantoul Township High School is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in Rantoul, Illinois, with 901 students. Its results show a consistent concern for families: in 2025–2026, students scored below Illinois proficiency rates in every reported subject and tested grade.

The gap is clear in 11th-grade ACT results: Rantoul’s proficiency rates were 26% in ELA, 13% in math and 26% in science, compared with state rates of 50%, 40% and 48%. Those are gaps of 24, 27 and 22 percentage points; Rantoul also fell short of nearby-school averages of 64%, 53% and 58%. It scored below the state and nearby-school average in all six reported 9th- and 10th-grade PreACT comparisons, and had the lowest score among nearby schools in each. School and district test figures are identical, so they show no measured school–district gap; Armstrong High School’s ACT results were not reported.

Some younger-grade results have improved, but the pattern is mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, math rose 5 points in 9th grade and 8 in 10th, while 11th-grade ACT math fell 2 points; 10th-grade ELA rose 5 points, but 9th-grade ELA fell 7. Chronic absenteeism improved from 49% in 2022–2023 to 38% in 2025–2026, yet remained above the 24% state rate and 22% nearby average. SchoolDigger ranks Rantoul at the 15th percentile, with 1 star and a rank of 525 out of 620, down from the 21st percentile the prior year. Nearby, Armstrong is at the 44th percentile, Fisher Junior/Senior High School at 54th, Paxton-Buckley-Loda High School at 63rd and University of Illinois High School at 100th. In 2024–2025, 91% of Rantoul students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with 38%–44% at nearby schools with the same measure. Its student–teacher ratio was 14:1, higher than three nearby schools’ ratios of 8.1:1, 11.1:1 and 12.6:1. SchoolDigger’s subgroup ranking, a relative measure of how well the school serves a group, placed African American Students at the 35th percentile in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall 15th percentile; the English Language Learner Students’ ranking fell from the 70th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 31st in 2024–2025.
