Summary:
The Century CUSD 100 district in Illinois serves two schools - Century Elementary School and Century Junior/Senior High School. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both are consistently underperforming compared to state averages on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
The elementary school has very low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 20.3% and 16.1% of students meeting or exceeding standards, respectively, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 31.8%. The high school's SAT scores are also alarmingly low, with just 3.8% of 11th graders proficient in ELA and 0% proficient in Math, far below the state averages of 31.1% and 26.1%. Both schools also struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, well above the state average.
Despite the district's relatively high per-student spending and small class sizes, the schools have been unable to improve their performance over the past few years. This suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement more effective strategies to support student learning and address the underlying challenges faced by the schools, which could be related to socioeconomic factors in the community.
