Summary:
The Altamont CUSD 10 district in Illinois serves students from two schools: Altamont Grade School and Altamont High School. Based on the available data, Altamont Grade School stands out as the stronger performer, consistently ranking in the top half of Illinois elementary schools with a 4-star rating. In contrast, Altamont High School performs at a more average level, with a 3-star rating and middle-of-the-pack ranking among Illinois high schools.
Altamont Grade School's success is evident in its above-average test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, and its relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.9%. The school also spends more per student ($10,967) compared to the high school ($12,971 per student). While Altamont High School has a strong 93.1% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.3% dropout rate, its test scores are closer to the state averages and it has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 14.5%.
The data suggests that Altamont CUSD 10 has a standout performer in Altamont Grade School, which is providing a quality education for its students. However, there is still room for improvement, particularly in mathematics proficiency at the elementary level. The district may also want to examine the factors contributing to the grade school's success to see if those strategies can be applied to Altamont High School as well.
