Summary:
The city of Fox Lake, Illinois is home to two schools - Grant Community High School and Stanton School. Grant Community High School, the only high school in the data set, outperforms the middle school Stanton School on several key metrics, including graduation rates, test scores, and statewide rankings. However, Stanton School has a lower student-teacher ratio, which could contribute to more personalized attention for its students.
While Grant Community High School maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.7% and performs better than the state average on the ISA Science assessment, it struggles with lower proficiency rates in SAT Mathematics and English Language Arts compared to state averages. Conversely, Stanton School shows stronger performance in 8th grade English Language Arts but significantly lower proficiency rates in Mathematics across all grade levels.
The data also suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role, as Stanton School has a higher rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 51.72%, compared to 41.26% at Grant Community High School. Addressing the root causes of these performance gaps, whether related to resource allocation or other factors, could help both Grant CHSD 124 and Fox Lake GSD 114 improve educational outcomes for all students in the area.
