Eminence Independent

Eminence Independent has two schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Eminence Elementary School (PK–5) and Eminence High School (grades 6–12). Their tested grades do not overlap, so the results show how each school compares with state results for its own grades, rather than a direct school-to-school comparison. The clearest overall contrast is that the high school’s upper-grade results include several strong advantages over the state, while elementary results are below state levels in most reported subject-grade results.

Eminence High School stands out most in grade 10 reading, with 65% proficient versus 49% statewide, and grade 11 writing, with 60% versus 47%—advantages of 16 and 13 points. It was above the state in 8 of 16 reported results. Eminence Elementary School’s clearest bright spot was grade 4 science: 44% versus 40%, or 4 points higher. Its sharpest gaps were grade 3 math and grade 5 writing, both 20 points below the state (23% versus 43% in math; 15% versus 35% in writing). Across reported results, science was a relative strength for the area, averaging 2 points above matched state results, while math averaged 9 points below.

Recent results show different paths: the high school’s average across reported results rose from 37% in 2024–2025 to 41% in 2025–2026, while the elementary average fell from 35% to 31%. SchoolDigger’s high-school percentile ranking rebounded from 44 in 2024–2025 to 81 in 2025–2026 (rank 51 of 262; 4 stars); the elementary percentile moved from 28 to 20 (rank 550 of 684; 1 star). In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 41% at the high school and 42% at the elementary school; student–teacher ratios were 13.3 and 15, respectively. In 2025–2026, high-school graduation was 95% versus 94% statewide, but chronic absenteeism was also higher, at 25% versus 24%; elementary chronic absenteeism was 15% versus 24% statewide.
