Summary:
The city of Edinburg, Illinois is home to three public schools serving grades K-12: Edinburg Elementary School, Edinburg High School, and Edinburg Junior High School. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as all three schools are performing well below state averages on key metrics like test scores and attendance rates.
Edinburg Elementary School has the lowest statewide ranking, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores are significantly below the state averages, with only 17.7% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 23.5% proficient in math. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.5%. Edinburg High School fares slightly better, with a 2 out of 5 star rating, but its test scores are still well below state averages, with only 5.6% of 11th graders proficient in ELA and 0% proficient in math. Edinburg Junior High School has a 1 out of 5 star rating, similar to the elementary school, and its test scores are again significantly below state averages.
Despite relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the Edinburg school district as a whole is ranked 778 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, which exceed 45% at all three schools, indicate that the district serves a predominantly low-income population, which could be a contributing factor to the schools' struggles. Overall, the data suggests that the Edinburg school district is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
