Best Public Schools in Minonk, IL

Summary:

The city of Minonk, Illinois is home to two schools: Fieldcrest High School and Fieldcrest Primary School, both part of the Fieldcrest CUSD 6 district. While the primary school has maintained a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the high school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 186 in 2021-2022 to 422 out of 697 Illinois high schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

Both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly above the state average. The high school's graduation rate of 89.3% is slightly below the state average, and its student performance on standardized tests is also below par, with only 15.7% and 16.9% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Math and English Language Arts, respectively. Additionally, the high school has a relatively high dropout rate of 4.5% in 2022-2023. These performance issues may be linked to the socioeconomic challenges faced by the community, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at both schools.

While the high school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.4, it also has significantly higher per-student spending of $19,637 in 2022-2023 compared to the primary school's $16,322. This disparity in funding and resource allocation within the district may be an area for further investigation to ensure equitable access to support and opportunities for all students in Minonk.
