Summary:
St Anne CHSD 302 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of St Anne with a single high school, St Anne Community High School. The high school serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 186 students, with a diverse student population that is 34.41% white, 27.42% African American, and 31.18% Hispanic.
While the school maintains a relatively high graduation rate of 95.7%, its academic performance is a significant concern. Only 11.1% of students are proficient in Math and 17.7% are proficient in English Language Arts, well below the state averages. This low academic achievement is likely exacerbated by the high poverty rates, with 69.35% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, with 30.6% of students chronically absent.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $26,827, its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 417 out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2021-2022 to 445 out of 699 in 2022-2023, with its overall rating dropping from 2 stars to 1 star. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to better support student success and address the significant socioeconomic and academic challenges facing the St Anne CHSD 302 community.
