Summary:
The city of Flanagan, Illinois is home to two schools - Flanagan Elementary School and Flanagan-Cornell High School, both part of the Flanagan-Cornell District 74. These schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with low statewide rankings, poor proficiency rates in core subjects, and high chronic absenteeism.
Flanagan Elementary School has a relatively small enrollment of 185 students and consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools. The school struggles with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 9.5%. Despite spending $17,339 per student, the school's academic outcomes remain well below state standards.
Flanagan-Cornell High School, with an even smaller enrollment of 111 students, also ranks in the bottom third of Illinois high schools. The school's proficiency rates on the SAT are significantly lower than the state average, with just 11.5% of students meeting standards in Mathematics and 19.2% in English Language Arts. While the school maintains a relatively high graduation rate of 87.5%, the low college-readiness metrics suggest many students may be graduating without the necessary skills. The high school's spending per student is $21,660, but this investment does not appear to translate into improved academic performance.
