Summary:
Freeport School District 145 in Illinois has only one high school, Freeport High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Freeport High School is a low-performing school that faces significant challenges, including low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and high levels of economic disadvantage among its student population.
Freeport High School is ranked 543 out of 697 Illinois high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and has a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 75.1% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 5.8% is higher. Additionally, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 33.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Standardized test scores at Freeport High School are also well below the state average, with only 4% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, compared to the state average of 26.1%.
Despite the school's low performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, which could be an opportunity to provide more individualized attention and support to students. However, the high percentage of students (51.67%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may be a contributing factor to the school's overall low performance. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving Freeport High School's performance and outcomes for its students.
