Auburn CUSD 10

The Auburn CUSD 10 district in Illinois serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools - 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of academic performance, with Auburn Junior High at Divernon standing out as the highest-performing school in the district, while the high school and middle school struggle academically.

Auburn Junior High at Divernon excels, with 61.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 20.7% in Mathematics, exceeding district and state averages. In contrast, Auburn High School has particularly low proficiency rates, with only 7.8% of 11th graders proficient or better in Mathematics and 21.1% in English Language Arts. Auburn Middle School also struggles academically, with only 23% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 15.8% in Mathematics.

The data also reveals socioeconomic challenges across the district, with a significant proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 36.1% to 44.75%. This suggests the schools are serving a population with economic disadvantages, which may contribute to the lower academic performance observed. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which is relatively high at the high school and junior high, could also be an important focus for the district to improve student outcomes.
