Summary:
High schools in ZIP code 60954 include one school, Momence High School, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 315 students. With no other high school in the ZIP-code group, there is no local school-to-school comparison. The clearest overall finding is that Momence scored below Illinois in all nine reported subject, test, and grade comparisons in 2025–2026.
Within this one-school group, Momence is both the highest and lowest listed school, but its results vary considerably by subject and grade. Its strongest reported result was grade 9 ELA, with 51% proficient compared with 62% statewide—a gap of 11 points. Its lowest was grade 10 mathematics, at 15% compared with 36% statewide, a 22-point gap. Across grades, ELA was closest to state results on average, 17 points behind; science was 18 points behind, and mathematics had the largest average gap, at 23 points. Graduation was a relative bright spot: 92% in 2025–2026, 2 points above the state. Chronic absenteeism was higher, at 38% versus 24% statewide and 27% in the district.
Results were mixed over time rather than showing broad improvement: four of the nine school scores rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, four fell, and one was unchanged. Average proficiency remained about 28% in both years, and the gap to the state stayed around 20 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking also fell, from 40th in 2023–2024 to 23rd in 2024–2025 and 17th in 2025–2026. As context, Momence reported a 12.6 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 63% free/reduced lunch eligible that school year; these figures describe the school but do not show how it compares with another high school in the area.
