Summary:
Signal Hill School District 181 in Illinois has only one school, Signal Hill Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 291 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, its academic performance has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science generally below the state averages.
Signal Hill Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 934 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1,201 out of 2,077 in 2022-2023. The school is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating average performance. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.8% in 2023-2024 is a significant concern and may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 60.82% in 2022-2023, suggesting that the student population faces socioeconomic challenges that can impact academic achievement. While the district appears to be investing resources to support the school, the academic outcomes do not yet reflect the impact of these investments. Continued efforts to address the school's performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors will be crucial for improving student outcomes at Signal Hill Elementary School and the Signal Hill School District 181.
