Summary

Rock Falls Township High School is a public high school serving 547 students in grades 9-12 in Rock Falls, Illinois, which is part of the Rock Falls Township HSD 301 district.

Over the past few years, Rock Falls Township High School has struggled academically, with a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 221 out of 643 Illinois high schools in 2015-2016 (3-star rating) to its current ranking of 409 out of 698 (2-star rating). The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for Hispanic students (ranked 69 out of 333 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 with a 4-star rating) but weaker performance for White students (ranked 423 out of 564 in 2024-2025 with a 1-star rating). The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.9% to 26.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Polo Community High School and Morrison High School, Rock Falls Township High School generally performs worse in terms of statewide rankings and ratings. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to some nearby schools, the academic performance at Rock Falls Township High School does not seem to reflect these resources, suggesting that the school may need to address other factors, such as instructional practices, curriculum, and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, to improve its performance.
