La Salle-Peru Township HSD 120


Summary:

La Salle-Peru Township HSD 120 is a single-school district that serves the high school students in the La Salle-Peru area. La Salle-Peru Township High School is the only high school in the district and faces some challenges in terms of academic performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors compared to state averages.

The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.6% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.4% is slightly higher. Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, with 26.0% of students chronically absent, much higher than the state average. Academically, the school's students scored lower than the state average on standardized tests in mathematics, English language arts, and science. The school serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with 43.16% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.

Despite the higher spending per student of $18,574, the school's academic performance remains below the state average, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Addressing attendance issues and implementing targeted interventions to support students from low-income families could be priorities for the La Salle-Peru Township HSD 120 district to help improve the school's overall performance and better serve its students.
