Summary:
ZIP code 61325 has one listed school, Grand Ridge School, an elementary school serving kindergarten through 8th grade with 212 students; it is the area’s only school, so there are no other local schools to compare. Its 2025–2026 all-grades results were above state averages in both core subjects: 74% in English language arts (ELA), compared with 56% statewide, and 56% in math, compared with 40% statewide. The most important finding is that the school was ahead of the state by 17 percentage points in ELA and 16 points in math.
Grand Ridge School is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school in this ZIP-code group by default, so grade-level results show where its strongest results and main exception lie. Third-grade ELA was a standout at 92%, versus 48% statewide, a 44-point advantage; seventh-grade math was 74%, versus 40% statewide, a 34-point advantage. Fifth-grade ELA was below the state result: 48%, compared with 55%, or 7 points lower. Eighth-grade science was modestly above the state, at 55% versus 52%, a 3-point lead. These differences show that results vary by grade, even though the all-grades scores are strong relative to the state.
Results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and the school widened its lead over the state: ELA rose 9 points, compared with a 3-point state increase, while math rose 5 points, compared with about 1 point statewide. SchoolDigger rates the school 4 stars and places it at the 72nd percentile for 2025–2026; that is up 11 percentile points from the prior year but 8 points below its 2023–2024 standing. Context measures include a student–teacher ratio of 9.6 and 34% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 21% in 2025–2026, 2 points below the state rate. With only one school listed, local school-to-school comparisons are not possible.
