Best Public Schools in Camp Point, IL

The city of Camp Point, Illinois is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Central CUSD 3 school district. While the district faces challenges with a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, the data reveals a standout performer in Central High School, which consistently ranks among the top 25% of high schools in Illinois and boasts strong academic achievement, a high graduation rate, and low dropout rates.

In contrast, Central Junior High School has been more middle-of-the-pack, ranking in the 40th-60th percentile of Illinois middle schools over the past 3 years. While the school still exceeds the state average in some areas, its performance lags behind that of the high school. Central Elementary Grade School serves the district's youngest students, with per-student spending above the state average but room for improvement in addressing chronic absenteeism.

Despite the economic challenges faced by the district, the data suggests that the schools are investing heavily in their students, with per-student spending well above the state average. This investment appears to be paying dividends at the high school level, where Central High School's strong academic performance, high graduation rates, and low dropout rates set it apart as a standout institution in the region. However, the district as a whole must continue to address areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism, to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
