Summary:
The Thompsonville CUSD 174 district in Illinois consists of two schools: Thompsonville Grade School and Thompsonville High School. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both are ranked in the bottom quarter of schools statewide and are underperforming academically compared to state averages.
Thompsonville Grade School has an enrollment of 215 students and is ranked 720 out of 813 schools in Illinois, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts (29.8%) and Math (8.9%) are well below the state averages. However, the school's Science proficiency rate of 61.7% is above the Illinois average. Thompsonville High School, with an enrollment of 103 students, shares a similar ranking and rating, and also struggles with low proficiency rates in SAT ELA (11.1%) and SAT Math (3.7%).
Both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, around 22% at the elementary level and 33% at the high school level. Additionally, a significant portion of the student population, nearly 50%, qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the low academic performance, the schools have relatively high spending per student, suggesting the issue may not be a lack of funding, but rather how the resources are being utilized to support student success.
