Benton Cons High School's academic performance metrics, such as proficiency rates on the SAT and ISA assessments, are generally lower than the state averages. The school also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 42.7%, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (54.59%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, the data suggests that Benton Cons High School is facing challenges in supporting student learning and achievement. Further investigation into the root causes of these issues and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's outcomes and help it regain its standing among Illinois high schools.
