Summary:
The Carrollton school district in Illinois consists of two schools - Carrollton Grade School, an elementary school, and Carrollton High School. While both schools serve the Carrollton community, the data suggests they are facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students.
Academically, both Carrollton Grade School and Carrollton High School are performing well below state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from just 3.4% to 32.1% in English Language Arts and 2.9% to 17.4% in Mathematics. The high schools' SAT scores are also significantly lower than the state average, with only 11.4% and 13.6% of students meeting proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics, respectively. Additionally, the district's graduation rate of 88% is slightly lower than the state average, while the dropout rate of 5.1% is higher.
Beyond academics, the Carrollton school district also faces challenges with student demographics and attendance. Both schools have student populations that are overwhelmingly white, with limited racial and ethnic diversity. Furthermore, the chronic absenteeism rates at both the elementary and high school are higher than the state average, at 21.9% and 22.7% respectively. These factors may be contributing to the district's overall academic underperformance. To address these issues, the Carrollton CUSD 1 district will need to implement targeted strategies to improve educational outcomes, promote diversity and inclusion, and address the high rates of chronic absenteeism.
