Summary:
The Western CUSD 12 district in Illinois consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mixed picture, with Western Junior High School standing out as a relatively strong performer, while Western Barry Elementary and Western High School face challenges in academic achievement, particularly in Mathematics.
Western Junior High School outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency and had a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Western High School struggled with Mathematics proficiency, with only 3.8% of 11th-grade students meeting or exceeding standards, significantly lower than the district and state averages. The high school also had a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 32.4%.
Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable resource allocation could be crucial steps in improving the overall performance of the Western CUSD 12 district. The data suggests a need to investigate the underlying factors contributing to the performance differences and implement targeted interventions to address the challenges at the high school level.
