Summary:
Stark County CUSD 100 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of Stark County. The district has only one high school, Stark County High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a strong four-year graduation rate, it has faced some academic challenges, with proficiency rates in SAT Mathematics and English Language Arts below the state averages.
Stark County High School's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 224 out of 697 Illinois high schools in 2023-2024 to 432 out of 699 in 2021-2022. The school's dropout rate of 4.1% is higher than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 24.9% is a concern. However, the school's proficiency rate in ISA Science is slightly above the state average.
The school serves a relatively small student population of 241 students, with a student-teacher ratio slightly lower than the state average. The school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 42.32% suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may impact academic performance and require targeted support. Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending, the school's academic performance metrics indicate that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes.
