Summary:
Zip code 62014 has one high school, Bunker Hill High School, serving grades 9–12 and 166 students, so there is no other local high school for comparison. Its 2025–2026 results are mixed: grade 9 English Language Arts proficiency was 73%, 12 percentage points above the state, while grade 10 ELA was 9 points below and grade 11 ACT ELA and science were 9 and 10 points below. Graduation was 100%, 10 points above the state, and chronic absenteeism was 18%, 6 points lower. The clearest takeaway is that strong grade 9 ELA and graduation do not mean results are above the state across grades and subjects.
There is no meaningful local top-to-bottom ranking because Bunker Hill is the only school in the data. Within its latest results, grade 9 ELA is the standout: 73% proficient compared with 62% statewide. By contrast, grade 9 math was 38%, 4 points below the state, and grade 10 ELA and grade 11 ACT ELA and science trailed by about 9 to 10 points. Across the six latest test comparisons, the descriptive average was 47% for the school, with an average gap of 4 points below the state. These figures make grade 9 ELA a particular strength, rather than evidence of a consistent advantage across tested subjects.
Grade 9 scores rose substantially from the prior year: ELA increased by 26 percentage points, math by 22 and science by 22; those gains account for much of the narrowing in the average gap, from 14 points below the state in 2024–2025 to 4 points below in 2025–2026. The older-grade comparisons did not show similar gains: ACT gaps widened, while the grade 10 ELA gap changed little. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 72nd percentile (4 stars) in 2023–2024, 34th percentile (2 stars) in 2024–2025 and 50th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026. Context figures are a 10:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 52% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. With only one school, these data cannot show school-to-school patterns, and scores across years are for different student cohorts.
