Durand High School up 77 spots statewide this year
Summary:

Zip code 61024 has three public schools serving preschool through grade 12: Durand Elementary School (PK–6), Durand Junior High School (grades 7–8), and Durand High School (grades 9–12), with 509 students combined. The clearest contrast is in math: elementary results are above the state, while junior-high results are well below it.

Durand Elementary stands out in all-grade IAR math, with 53% proficient—13 points above the state—and in ELA, with 68%, 12 points above. Durand Junior High is also above the state in ELA at 66%, or 9 points above, but its math result is 26%, 14 points below; its grade 8 science result is 36%, 16 points below the state. The strongest individual-grade results are at elementary, where grade 3 proficiency is 91% in both ELA and math. Durand High is above the state in all three grade 11 ACT subjects, by 9 points in ELA, 4 in math, and 2 in science, and its graduation rate is 94%, compared with 90% statewide.

Recent results are mixed rather than uniformly improving: junior-high ELA rose 16 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, and math rose 5 points, while elementary math fell 8 points and science declined at both elementary and junior high. High-school ACT ELA rose 7 points, but ACT math fell 8; several PreACT subject results improved, while grade 9 ELA fell 12 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking rose 58 points at Durand High over three reported years, while it fell 10 at elementary and 34 at junior high. For context, 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 48% at elementary, 48% at junior high, and 32% at high school; student-teacher ratios were 11.2, 7.9, and 10.1, respectively. Because the schools serve different grades, these results are useful context, not a precise ranking of comparable schools.
