Summary

St Joseph-Ogden High School serves 457 students in grades 9–12 in Saint Joseph, Illinois. Its 2025–26 results show a strong local and statewide academic profile. The most important finding for families is that the school scored above Illinois averages in all nine reported ACT and PreACT results.

Math is the school’s strongest subject relative to Illinois: its average advantage across the three reported math tests was 14 points, compared with 8 points in ELA and 4 in science. Science is its weakest relative area; on 10th-grade PreACT science, its 48.8% was just 0.4 points above the state’s 48.4%. Among four nearby grade 9–12 schools with comparable results, St Joseph-Ogden scored above the average on every test and ahead of them on eight of nine. However, the University of Illinois High School scored higher on all nine matched-grade tests. The school’s 98% graduation rate was the highest among nearby schools with reported rates, and its 16% chronic absenteeism rate was the lowest nearby. Its school and district test results match, so the district comparison adds no separate benchmark.

Results remain strong, though some measures have slipped: grade 11 ACT math fell from 70% to 54% between 2024–25 and 2025–26, and its advantage over the state narrowed from 30 to 15 points. SchoolDigger ranks St Joseph-Ogden in the 79th percentile with 4 stars, down from the 88th percentile the prior year. One group’s standing is notably lower: Special Education Students rank in the 57th statewide percentile on SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves that group, down from the 84th percentile in 2024–25 and 22 points below the school overall. The student-teacher ratio was 13.2 in 2024–25. The school reported 5% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2021–22; nearby figures are from 2024–25, so they are not a like-year comparison.
