Lowpoint-Washburn Junior Senior High School

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

Lowpoint-Washburn Junior Senior High School serves 156 students in grades 6–12 in Washburn, Illinois. Its results point to a clear academic priority: in 2025–2026, all-grades math proficiency was 15%, 25 points below the state and 12 points below the district.

English Language Arts (ELA) is a relative strength compared with the district, but not the state: 52% of students were proficient, 2 points above the Lowpoint-Washburn CUSD 21 result and 4 points below the state. The nearby-school comparison also raises concern about ninth-grade ELA. Lowpoint-Washburn scored 48%, the lowest result among the nearby schools with reported ninth-grade results; their average was 67%, and the next-lowest was Fieldcrest High School at 53%. Results vary by grade, too: seventh-grade ELA was 5 points above the state, while eighth-grade ELA was 16 points below it.

Recent trends are mixed. All-grades ELA improved from 40% in 2024–2025 to 52% in 2025–2026, narrowing its gap with the state, while math fell from 22% to 15% and its state gap widened. Graduation also dropped from 83% in 2023–2024 to 71% in 2024–2025, compared with a state rate of 89% that year; meanwhile, chronic absenteeism improved to 16%, below the state’s 24%. SchoolDigger ranked the school in the 36th percentile with two stars in 2024–2025, below nearby schools with same-year rankings. Its 10.7:1 student-teacher ratio was below the nearby average of 12.4:1; 47% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby average of 37%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was in the 16th percentile in 2024–2025, 20 percentile points below the school’s overall ranking and down 37 points from 2022–2023.
