Best Public Schools in Serena, IL


Summary:

The city of Serena, Illinois is home to two schools: Serena Middle School and Serena High School, both part of the Serena CUSD 2 district. While the middle school has a 3-star rating, the high school lags behind with a 2-star rating, indicating room for improvement across the district.

Serena Middle School has seen some bright spots, with strong performance in 5th and 6th grade English Language Arts assessments. However, the school struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates well below the state average. Serena High School faces more significant challenges, with low standardized test scores in both English and Math, as well as a graduation rate slightly below the state average. Both schools also grapple with high chronic absenteeism rates, which can hinder student learning and achievement.

Despite the high per-student spending at both schools, the data suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the consistent underperformance, particularly in Mathematics. The district should also investigate the root causes of chronic absenteeism and work to ensure equity across all schools within the Serena CUSD 2 district.
