High Schools in Marion CUSD 2

The Marion CUSD 2 school district in Illinois contains only one high school, Marion High School. This school has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 175th out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2021-2022 to 353rd out of 699 in 2022-2023.

Marion High School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates below state averages in SAT Mathematics (14.5%) and SAT English Language Arts (29.9%), but above the state average in ISA Science (61.2%). The school also faces challenges, including a four-year graduation rate of 72.4% (below the state average), a dropout rate of 6.2% (higher than the state average), and a chronic absenteeism rate of 30.4% (significantly higher than the state average).

Socioeconomic factors may be influencing the school's performance, as it has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (48.49% in 2022-2023) and a student-teacher ratio slightly higher than the state average. The school's per-student spending is also slightly above the state average, suggesting the district is allocating resources to support the school, but the inconsistent performance and other challenges indicate that the effectiveness of these resources could be further examined.
