Summary

Okawville Junior/Senior High School serves 224 students in grades 7–12 in Okawville, Illinois, and its clearest academic contrast is between standout 11th-grade ACT scores and a significant weakness in junior-high mathematics.

The school’s strongest results are in 11th-grade ACT: in 2025–2026, 81% were proficient in English language arts, 63% in math, and 84% in science, compared with state rates of 50%, 40%, and 48%; these were the highest reported rates among nearby schools in all three subjects. The concern is all-grades IAR math, where 28% proficiency was below the state’s 40% and the district’s 50%. It was close to Lebanon High School at 28% and Marissa Junior & Senior High School at 27%, but all three were below the state. This makes the middle-grade math results an important counterpoint to the strong high-school ACT performance.

IAR math has weakened as the state improved: Okawville fell from 39% proficiency in 2023–2024 to 28% in 2025–2026, while the state rose from 28% to 40%. IAR English language arts also fell from its 66% peak in 2024–2025 to 55% in 2025–2026, slightly below the state’s 56%. SchoolDigger ranks the school 84th of 620, at the 86th percentile and four stars for 2025–2026, down from the 88th percentile the prior two years. Its student-teacher ratio was 11:1 in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby average of about 12:1; 25% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, versus a 37% nearby average. One subgroup result stands out: in 2022–2023, SchoolDigger ranked the school’s effectiveness for “Low Socio Economic Status Students” at the 48th statewide percentile, below the school’s overall 73rd percentile. Chronic absenteeism is a relative bright spot, dropping from 16% in 2021–2022 to 10% in 2025–2026, compared with 24% statewide in the latest year.

What people are saying
by a student
Thursday, December 8, 2011

Open Quote Most of the teachers at this school do not explain the lessons properly. When asked for help one said "I don't know. Why don't you figure it out on your own." This happens often, and when the principle was told about this he didn't take any action or interest. They play favoritism terribly and don't completely know the lessons they are teaching. When a question of the south popped up during a history lesson about the confederate flag the teacher did not know the true history, and if they did they argued immaturely about the matter. I would highly recommend not sending your children to this school. Close Quote
