The Taylorville CUSD 3 district in Illinois serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools - 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals notable disparities in academic performance and student demographics across the district.
Taylorville Junior High School stands out as the highest-performing school, ranking 325 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels in English Language Arts proficiency, outpacing district and state averages. In contrast, Memorial Elementary School struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below the district and state in both English Language Arts and Math.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as North Elementary School has the highest percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 66.11%. Meanwhile, Taylorville Senior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past 3 years and underperforms the state average on the SAT. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which ranges from 17.3% to 27.1% across the district, could be a key focus area to improve overall academic performance.
