Summary:
The city of Le Roy, Illinois is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: LeRoy Elementary School, LeRoy High School, and LeRoy Junior High School, all part of the LeRoy CUSD 2 district. While the high school and junior high school demonstrate strengths in science proficiency, the data reveals some areas for improvement across the district.
LeRoy High School stands out as the top performer, ranking in the top half of Illinois high schools and maintaining a strong 96.3% four-year graduation rate. However, the school's SAT performance in Mathematics and English Language Arts lags behind state averages. In contrast, LeRoy Junior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 307 out of 1,369 Illinois middle schools in 2021-2022 to 737 out of 1,363 in 2023-2024, indicating a need to address its lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages.
Across the district, LeRoy Elementary School stands out with the highest spending per student at $12,255, yet its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below state averages. This suggests that higher spending and lower student-teacher ratios may not necessarily translate to better academic performance, highlighting the need to consider other factors that contribute to student success, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school culture.
