Summary:
The city of Red Bud, Illinois is home to two schools: Red Bud Elementary School and Red Bud High School, both of which serve students in the Red Bud CUSD 132 district. The data shows that both schools are performing reasonably well compared to state averages, with some notable strengths and areas for improvement.
Red Bud Elementary School consistently ranks in the top third of Illinois elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Science proficiency, but lags behind in Mathematics, especially in the upper grades. The school also has a higher-than-target chronic absenteeism rate of 15.1%. In contrast, Red Bud High School maintains a strong 93.2% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average, but its dropout rate of 4.7% is slightly higher than the state's target.
The data also reveals some differences between the two schools, such as the higher percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at the elementary school (41.42%) compared to the high school (29.76%), and the higher spending per student at the high school ($14,151) compared to the elementary school ($10,718). These factors may contribute to the observed differences in academic performance and attendance rates between the two schools.
