Summary:
High Mount School District 116 in Illinois has only one elementary school, High Mount Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance has been consistently below the state average in Illinois, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
High Mount Elementary School's performance on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) in the 2023-2024 school year was significantly below the state average, with only 27.9% of students proficient or better in ELA and 8.4% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. The school's performance on the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) was also below the state average, with 40.6% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 53.2%. This low academic performance has been consistent over the past few years, with little improvement observed.
The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 72.17% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.2% in the 2023-2024 school year was higher than the state average. These factors may be contributing to the school's low academic performance, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help High Mount Elementary School improve and provide a high-quality education to all its students.
