Summary:
The city of Oregon, Illinois is home to two schools: Oregon Elementary School and Oregon Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Oregon CUSD 220 district. The elementary school serves grades PK-6 with 776 students, while the junior/senior high school serves grades 7-12 with 663 students.
Oregon Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with 48.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 42.7% proficient or better in Mathematics, both notably higher than the state averages. In contrast, Oregon Junior/Senior High School lags behind the state in Mathematics proficiency, but boasts an impressive 96.4% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. The high school also has a relatively low 2.9% dropout rate.
While both schools have similar per-student spending, the elementary school has a higher rate of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch at 52.19%, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage in the community. Additionally, the high school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 24.9% compared to the elementary school's 14.0%, which could be an area of concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.
