Summary:
ZIP code 62922 has one listed school, Adams School, serving prekindergarten through eighth grade in Marion CUSD 2; it enrolls 283 students. With only one school listed, there is no meaningful local school-to-school ranking. The clearest headline is that Adams’s 2025–26 proficiency rates were well above Illinois’s in both subjects: 78% in English language arts (ELA) versus 56% statewide, a 21-point advantage, and 62% in math versus 40%, a 23-point advantage.
Within Adams, fourth grade stands out, with 94% proficient in ELA and 91% in math—38 and 49 points above the respective state results. Seventh-grade ELA is the lowest reported ELA result at 65%, though still 8 points above the state. Sixth-grade math, at 63%, is the lowest reported math result; the state suppressed Adams’s seventh- and eighth-grade math scores. The school’s reported science results also exceeded state figures: 77% of fifth graders and 65% of eighth graders were proficient, compared with 48% and 52% statewide. These are grade-level highs and lows within the single listed school, not comparisons among local schools.
Results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but the state-relative pattern differed by subject: ELA rose about 3 points to 78%, while its lead over the state narrowed by about 1 point; math rose about 4 points to 62%, widening its state lead by about 3 points. Science proficiency increased by about 11 points in fifth grade and 13 points in eighth grade, with the state-relative leads growing by about 4 and 7 points. SchoolDigger places Adams in the 92nd percentile in 2025–26, up from the 86th percentile in each of the previous two entries; this ranking is separate from test-score changes. For additional context, the student–teacher ratio was 11.3:1 in 2024–25, and 42% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 18% in 2025–26, below the district’s 23% and the state’s 24%.
