Summary:
The city of Mount Carmel, Illinois is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Wabash CUSD 348 district. While the district faces challenges in providing high-quality education, a few schools stand out with signs of improvement and strong performance compared to their peers.
Mt Carmel Grade School, an elementary school, has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking and relatively strong test scores, though still lagging behind state averages. Meanwhile, Mount Carmel High School has seen a significant improvement in its statewide ranking, though its test scores, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts, remain areas of concern.
Across the district, the schools face challenges such as high rates of chronic absenteeism, low academic performance compared to state averages, and a significant proportion of students from low-income families. These factors suggest the district may need to focus on addressing equity and access issues to provide all students with the resources and support they need to succeed. While some schools show signs of progress, the overall data indicates the Wabash CUSD 348 district has room for improvement in delivering high-quality education to the students of Mount Carmel.
