Summary:
The city of Eldorado, Illinois is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Eldorado Elementary School, Eldorado High School, and Eldorado Middle School. The data reveals a mixed picture, with the middle school standing out as a relatively strong performer, while the elementary and high schools face significant challenges.
Eldorado Middle School is the highest-ranked school in the district, ranking 435 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools. It has consistently earned a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasts the strongest English Language Arts proficiency rates across all grades. In contrast, Eldorado High School struggles academically, with only 1.5% and 10.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics and English Language Arts, respectively, significantly below the state averages.
Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the high school level (39.9%), and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the district, with all three schools having high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, will be crucial for improving overall educational outcomes in Eldorado. The Eldorado CUSD 4 district should consider targeted interventions and support programs to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students and improve attendance and academic performance across all grade levels.
