Summary:
The Crab Orchard CUSD 3 school district in Illinois contains a single high school, Crab Orchard High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Crab Orchard High School does not appear to be a standout performer among Illinois high schools, ranking between 428 and 523 out of 699 schools statewide over the past three years and currently holding a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's key metrics paint a concerning picture, with a below-average four-year graduation rate of 70.6%, a high dropout rate of 7.3%, and a significantly elevated chronic absenteeism rate of 34.7%.

Additionally, a relatively high percentage of students (39.6%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Overall, the data suggests that Crab Orchard High School faces several challenges, including declining performance, significant gaps in academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and serving a population with substantial economic disadvantages. These factors likely contribute to the school's relatively low ranking and performance within the state of Illinois, and the school and district may need to prioritize addressing these issues to improve student outcomes.
