Summary:
Erie-Galesburg has one high school, Erie High School, serving grades 9–12, with 144 students. Its results are mixed: science proficiency is above the state average, while English and math are below it. The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism: 27% of students were chronically absent, compared with 18% statewide and 20% in the Erie-Galesburg district.
Within the school’s results, science is the strongest subject and math is the clearest weakness. In 2025–26, science proficiency was 41%, 3 percentage points above the state’s 38%; 11th-grade science was also higher, at 41% versus 30% statewide. Math proficiency was 32%, 9 points below the state’s 41%, while English language arts was 41%, 5 points below the state’s 46%. Graduation offers a brighter picture: 94% of students graduated in 2023–24, 4 points above the state rate of 90% and equal to the district rate.
English and math results improved substantially from 2024–25 to 2025–26. English proficiency rose from 28% to 41%, and its gap with the state narrowed from 17 points to 5; math rose from 10% to 32%, narrowing its state gap from 28 points to 9. SchoolDigger’s ranking moved from the 13th percentile, rank 288 of 332 schools and 1 star, in 2024–25 to the 63rd percentile, rank 126 of 340 and 3 stars, in 2025–26. The school’s 8.7 student-teacher ratio and 46% free- or reduced-price-lunch rate provide additional context, not explanations for its results. Because this list contains only one school, it cannot show differences among local high schools, and SchoolDigger’s statewide comparison groups varied by year.
