Summary

Roanoke-Benson High School serves 146 students in grades 9–12 in the small community of Roanoke, Illinois. Its results show a clear mix of strengths and challenges: English and science are often among the strongest locally, while math is the most consistent concern. Most important for families to note, Roanoke-Benson’s math scores trail nearby-school averages in all three tested grades, and its ninth-grade result is below the state’s.

English is a standout: in 2025–2026, 71% of 11th graders were proficient, compared with 50% statewide, and 79% of 10th graders were proficient, compared with 54% statewide; both results led nearby schools with comparable scores. Science was also strong: 10th-grade proficiency was 69%, the highest among nearby schools, and 11th-grade proficiency was 60%, second locally. Math was more mixed against the state but weaker against nearby peers: 11th-grade proficiency was 43%, below the local average of 54% and the lowest among the schools compared; 10th grade was 48% versus a local average of 51%, and ninth grade was 38% versus 50% locally and 42% statewide. The school’s results on these tests matched those of the Roanoke Benson CUSD 60.

Results have shifted from year to year rather than improving consistently: 10th-grade math rose 13 points from the prior year, while ninth-grade math fell 16 points and 11th-grade math fell 10. SchoolDigger gives the school four stars and ranks it in the 83rd percentile statewide, below nearby Washington Community High School, Eureka High School and Metamora High School, but above the nearby-school average. It is the smallest nearby school, and its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 9.2 was the lowest among schools with reported figures. In 2024–2025, 19% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the lowest reported rate among nearby schools. One notable subgroup trend: SchoolDigger’s Male Students percentile rose from 70 in 2023–2024 to 89 in 2025–2026, while the overall percentile changed from 82 to 83.
