Triopia CUSD 27

The Triopia CUSD 27 district in Illinois serves students from two schools - Triopia Grade School, an elementary school, and Triopia Junior-Senior High School. Based on the data provided, Triopia Grade School stands out as the stronger performing school in the district, with consistently high academic achievement, low absenteeism, and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, Triopia Junior-Senior High School has more average performance, with test scores below the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. The high school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the elementary school. While the high school maintains a strong 93.3% 4-year graduation rate, the significant gap in academic outcomes between the two schools suggests a need to examine the curriculum, instruction, and support systems at the secondary level.

Both schools serve populations with relatively high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating the district serves communities with significant economic challenges. The district's spending per student is comparable between the elementary and high school, suggesting an equitable distribution of resources. However, the differences in academic performance indicate the district may need to evaluate how those resources are being utilized to support student learning across all grade levels.
