Best Public Schools in Augusta, IL

Summary:

The city of Augusta, Illinois has only one public high school, Southeastern Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 203 students. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from a high of 122nd out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2021-2022 to a low of 537th out of 699 in 2022-2023. Currently, the school is ranked 240th out of 697 Illinois high schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 3-star rating.

Southeastern Junior/Senior High School's academic performance is a concern, as its test scores in mathematics and English language arts are consistently below the state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's percentage of students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics (22.2%) and SAT English Language Arts (27.8%) is lower than the state averages of 26.1% and 31.1%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high rate of chronic absenteeism at 22.8% and a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 64.53%, which can be associated with lower academic performance and higher dropout rates.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $15,888 for the 2022-2023 school year, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year is 78.4%, and its dropout rate is 7.1%. These factors suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate how resources are being allocated and utilized to better support student learning and achievement.
