Summary:
ZIP code 61846 has one high school, Georgetown-Ridge Farm High School, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 243 students. In 2025–2026, its results were below the Illinois average in all nine reported tests for grades 9–11. Averaged across those results, 30% of students met proficiency, compared with 47% statewide—a 17-point gap. The most important finding is that the school’s results trailed the state in every tested subject and grade.
There is no local top or bottom school to compare: this is the only school in the list. Its closest result to the state was grade 9 science, at 34% versus 47%, a 13-point gap; its largest gap was grade 11 ACT science, at 21% versus 48%, or 27 points. Graduation was also below the state rate: 79% versus 90%, an 11-point difference. The dropout rate was higher, at 5% versus 2%, a 3-point difference. Chronic absenteeism was nearly the same as the state rate, at 24% for both when rounded.
Test results fell overall from the prior year: the school’s average across the nine tests went from 34% in 2024–2025 to 30% in 2025–2026, while the state average went from 48% to 47%; the average gap widened from 14 to 17 points. Only two of the nine school–state gaps narrowed. The sharpest widening was in grade 9 English language arts, where the school’s result fell 13 points and the gap widened by 12 points. SchoolDigger lists the school at the 20th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, down from the 32nd percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025. The school reported an 11.2 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, and 66% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Because this is the only school listed, there are no local peers for comparison.
