Best Public Schools in Peoria Heights, IL


Summary:

The city of Peoria Heights, Illinois is home to two schools: Peoria Heights Grade School and Peoria Heights High School, both part of the Peoria Heights CUSD 325 district. While the schools serve different grade levels, the data reveals that neither is performing at a high level compared to other schools in Illinois.

Both Peoria Heights Grade School and Peoria Heights High School have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois schools based on statewide rankings over the past three years. The schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, low proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and below-average graduation rates. Additionally, the schools serve a population with significant economic disadvantages, with over 90% of students at the grade school and over 50% at the high school receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The data suggests that the Peoria Heights schools face systemic challenges that need to be addressed. Improving academic performance, reducing chronic absenteeism, and supporting the socioeconomic needs of the student population should be top priorities for the district. With higher per-student spending at the grade school compared to the high school, the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and utilization to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
