Summary:
The Schuyler-Industry CUSD 5 school district in Illinois is home to a single high school, Rushville-Industry High School. This school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 221 out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2021-2022 to 559 out of 697 in 2023-2024. With a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, Rushville-Industry High School is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.
Academically, Rushville-Industry High School faces significant challenges. The school's graduation rate of 80.7% is below the state average, and its dropout rate of 3.7% is slightly higher than the state average. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with 21.9% of students missing a significant amount of school. On standardized tests, the school's performance is well below state averages, with only 6.4% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 26.1%.

Addressing these challenges will be crucial for the school to improve its performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
