Summary:
Rockridge CUSD 300 is a small school district that contains only one high school, Rockridge High School. This public high school serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 343 students. While Rockridge High School's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 176th to 233rd out of 699-697 Illinois high schools, the school has some notable strengths, including a high 4-year graduation rate of 93.2% and strong performance on the ISA Science assessment, with a proficiency rate of 70.9% compared to the state average of 53.2%.
However, the school also faces some challenges, such as a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.0% and lower-than-average proficiency rates on the SAT Mathematics and English Language Arts assessments. Demographically, Rockridge High School has a lower free and reduced-price lunch rate of 15.16% compared to the state average, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.4, which may indicate a more affluent student population and better resource allocation. Overall, Rockridge High School appears to be a moderately performing school with some areas of strength, such as science education, but also room for improvement in addressing chronic absenteeism and academic performance in certain subjects.
As the only high school in the Rockridge CUSD 300 district, Rockridge High School is the primary option for families in the area. While the school's performance has been variable, its strengths in science and relatively low student-teacher ratio may make it an attractive choice for some families. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate and lower-than-average proficiency in certain subjects are areas that the school and district may need to address to ensure all students are receiving a high-quality education.
