Summary:
The Prophetstown-Lyndon-Tampico CUSD3 school district in Illinois has only one high school, Prophetstown High School. This small school serves a relatively high-need student population, with a large percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. While the school has some academic strengths, particularly in science proficiency, it has faced challenges in other areas, such as mathematics and English language arts proficiency, which are below state averages.
Prophetstown High School's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 168th out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2021-2022 to 394th out of 697 in 2023-2024. The school's four-year graduation rate is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate is slightly higher. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.
Despite these challenges, Prophetstown High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, which may be an effort to address the needs of its student population. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to help the school improve its overall performance and better serve its students.
