Hoopeston Area CUSD 11

The Hoopeston Area CUSD 11 district in Illinois serves students from 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district faces challenges in academic performance and attendance, one school, John Greer Elementary, stands out with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages.

Across the district, proficiency rates on state assessments are generally low, with most schools performing well below state averages. However, John Greer Elementary outperforms the district and state in 3rd-5th grade English Language Arts. In contrast, Hoopeston Area High School performs significantly below the state average in both Math and English Language Arts on the SAT. Chronic absenteeism rates are also a concern, ranging from 19.4% at John Greer Elementary to 47.9% at Hoopeston Area Middle School.

The high rates of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, suggest that the Hoopeston Area CUSD 11 district may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the unique needs of its student population. While the district spends relatively high amounts per student and has relatively low student-teacher ratios, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, indicating a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization.
