Best High Schools in Calumet City, IL

Summary:

The city of Calumet City, Illinois has only one high school, Thornton Fractnl No High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students, but it is significantly underperforming academically compared to state and district averages.

Thornton Fractnl No High School's academic performance is a major concern, with only 3.4% of 11th graders proficient or better in SAT Math and 9.1% proficient or better in SAT English Language Arts. The school's science proficiency rate of 25% is also well below the Thornton Fractional Township HSD 215 district average of 33.7% and the state average of 52.2%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.8%, which is significantly above the state average and may be contributing to the low academic performance.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $19,760 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.7, which is slightly higher than the state average, Thornton Fractnl No High School is ranked 581 out of 699 Illinois high schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. This suggests that the issue is not solely about funding, but rather the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and achievement. Addressing the school's demographic challenges, academic underperformance, and high chronic absenteeism will likely require a comprehensive, long-term strategy to improve student outcomes.
