Freeport graduation rates rise as attendance grows

Freeport School District 145's four-year graduation rate has climbed nearly 13 percentage points since 2023 as attendance and reading measures also show improvement. The district's graduation rate reached 83.5% in 2026, up from 70.7% in 2023, according to a community announcement. The figures come from the 2026 Illinois Report Card. Graduation rates have increased each year since 2023, reaching 75.1% in 2024 and 80% in 2025 before rising to 83.5% this year. "These numbers belong to our students, our families and our staff," Superintendent Anna Alvarado said. "Three years ago, nearly three out of ten of our seniors weren't graduating on time. Now more of our kids are walking across the stage, and they're coming to school more often and reading better along the way. I'm proud of that work. I also want to be honest about where we aren't yet. Math hasn't moved the way it needs to, and that's where we're putting our attention this year." Graduation rates improve among student groups Graduation rates increased among the student groups highlighted by the district. The rate for Black students rose from 54.4% in 2023 to 80.6% this year.

Fenwick stuns Hononegah in Brian Zimmerman's final game as head coach

ROCKTON ― Hononegah couldn't drum up enough firepower to compete with a fast and powerful Fenwick football team in Saturday's Class 6A playoff showdown, and Brian Zimmerman's final game as Hononegah's head coach did not end the way he had envisioned. "I probably won't really think about it until everything clears out a little bit, you know, but you don't ever really think about leaving this way," Zimmerman said just minutes after Fenwick ousted Hononegah, 38-13. "You know, it's tough, but I'm sure, come next summer, when camps kick in, it will be even tougher. I'll miss it. "This was such a great group to go out with, though." Zimmerman went 93-22 in his 12 seasons as Hononegah's head football coach, and his teams never missed the playoffs. And this year's squad had just one loss coming in ― a 27-26 last-minute loss to undefeated Harlem on Sept. 11, after Hononegah was up 19 points with 5:12 left. More Rockford-area football: Harlem is only NIC-10 football team to win on busy playoff Friday But Fenwick (8-3) blasted right into Hononegah (9-2) in the second-round matchup on Nov. 7, scoring just over 3 minutes into the game, and never letting up

Stockton, Byron, Rochelle win, charge into football state quarters

Stockton took control and turned a close football playoff game into blowout real fast on Saturday, Nov. 7. And two other Rockford-area teams, Byron and Rochelle, followed suit in other classes as well. More Rockford-area football: Harlem is only NIC-10 football team to win on busy playoff Friday Harlem made it into the 6A state quarters with a win on Friday night, and then three more from the area joined the Huskies on Saturday. Stockton eliminated local rival Forreston, 36-16, on Nov. 7 to advance in 1A, one week after sending another NUIC rival, Lena-Winslow, home for the offseason. "We don't care who it is," Stockton head coach Sean Downey said Saturday, shortly after his teams' 36-16 victory. "This team just goes out there and plays. And they keep playing better and better." Stockton (10-1) has now won 10 in a row after dropping its opener to El Paso-Gridley, which is undefeated and still alive in the 2A playoffs. And now it gets yet another NUIC foe, Fulton, which upended Sterling Newman 28-24 on Saturday, and will host Stockton in the 1A quarterfinals next Saturday, Nov. 14. Morgan Haas rushed for 179 yards and finished it all off with a

Knox College honored alumni for service, leadership, scientific achievement and journalism during its Homecoming Convocation as reunion classes returned to campus. The ceremony began with a parade of reunion classes into Kresge Hall inside the Ford Center for the Fine Arts, according to a community announcement. Alumni marched from the Homecoming Hub tent south of the Gizmo Cafe, led by the 50-year Reunion Class of 1976. The Class of 1976 received special recognition after raising over $2 million for Knox College. “I have to give a shout-out to the Class of 1976, 50 years, what a milestone,” Alumni Council Chair Kathryn Mahaffey ’78 said. “We welcome home a reunion class whose Knox journey began more than 50 years ago, and all together we form a network that extends far beyond these walls, a community of thinkers, doers, leaders, and lifelong learners.” Mahaffey also encouraged alumni to remain involved with the college through mentoring, sharing professional experience, supporting scholarships, attending campus events and reconnecting with classmates. The Ralph White Prize, which recognizes the reunion class with the largest percentage of classmates giving to Knox, went to the Class of 1966. The class had a 58% giving rate.
