Summary:
The city of Quincy, Illinois is home to 9 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across these schools, with Lincoln-Douglas Elementary School standing out as the top performer, while several other schools lag behind state averages. Economic disadvantage is a major challenge, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across the district.
Quincy Senior High School has a decent 80.2% four-year graduation rate, but also a concerning 40.8% chronic absenteeism rate, which is significantly higher than the other schools. In contrast, the smaller Central 3-4 Middle School has strong academic performance and a very low 10.3% chronic absenteeism rate, suggesting that school size may be a factor in student success.
Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the wide disparities in performance and resource allocation across the Quincy School District 172 and the Central CUSD 3, ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Quincy area.
