Summary:
The Paxton-Buckley-Loda CUD 10 district in Illinois serves three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. The district's performance is generally consistent across the schools, with the Paxton-Buckley-Loda Junior High School standing out as a top performer, ranking 362 out of 1,367 Illinois middle schools with a 4-star rating. The Paxton-Buckley-Loda High School also performs well, ranking 289 out of 699 Illinois high schools with a 3-star rating and maintaining a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.8%.
However, the district faces some challenges, particularly in the area of test scores. The elementary and middle schools generally perform below the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with the high school having significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the state averages in both SAT Mathematics (18.7% vs. 26.7%) and SAT English Language Arts (19.8% vs. 31.6%). Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates are high across all schools, ranging from 21.2% at the elementary school to 31.2% at the high school, which is an area of concern for the district.
The schools in the Paxton-Buckley-Loda CUD 10 district serve a predominantly white student population, with relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.43% at the elementary school to 48.33% at the middle school. This suggests potential equity gaps that the district may need to address to ensure all students have access to quality education.
