Summary:
The city of Saint Anne, Illinois is home to two schools - St Anne Elementary School and St Anne Community High School. These schools serve students from the St Anne CCSD 256 and St Anne CHSD 302 districts, respectively.
While both schools have relatively high spending per student, their academic performance remains significantly below the state averages. St Anne Elementary School has consistently low proficiency rates in ELA and Math, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.0%. In contrast, St Anne Community High School has a diverse student population with significant percentages of African American and Hispanic students, and an even higher chronic absenteeism rate of 30.6%. However, the high school boasts an impressive 95.7% four-year graduation rate, despite its low academic performance.
The data suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes in these schools. Addressing attendance issues and ensuring equitable access to resources and support for the diverse student populations could be key focus areas for improvement. Additionally, understanding the disconnect between the high graduation rates and low academic performance at St Anne Community High School could provide valuable insights into the school's strategies for keeping students engaged and completing their education.
