Summary:
The city of Cahokia, Illinois is home to 7 schools serving grades K-12, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools are part of the Cahokia CUSD 187 district, which is ranked 812 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Within the district, Estelle Sauget School of Choice stands out as the highest performing school, with 22.2% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the district average of 9.2%. Huffman Elementary School also performs relatively well, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts across all grades compared to other elementary schools in the district.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and poor performance on standardized tests across the board. All schools in the district have very high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 93.19% to 96.14%. Despite high spending per student, the schools are struggling to achieve acceptable academic outcomes, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to address the underlying issues facing the district.
