Summary:
The Belvidere CUSD 100 district in Illinois serves 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools, such as Seth Whitman Elementary and Caledonia Elementary, and the lower-performing schools, like Washington Academy and Lincoln Elementary.
Among the high schools, Belvidere North High School stands out with a higher 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and lower dropout rate of 2.7% compared to Belvidere High School. Belvidere North also has higher proficiency rates on the SAT in both Math and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages.
The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and student performance, with schools having higher free/reduced lunch rates generally performing lower on academic measures. Addressing attendance issues, particularly the high chronic absenteeism rates at several schools, could be a priority for the district. Additionally, the significant range in per-student spending, from $12,684 to $18,049, raises questions about resource allocation and equity across the district's schools.
