Urbana School District 116

Summary:

The Urbana School District 116 in Illinois consists of 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces significant challenges, with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and potential equity concerns across its schools.

Leal Elementary School stands out as the top performer in the district, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as the lowest chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, M.L. King Jr. Elementary School and Urbana Middle School struggle with much lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. The district-wide chronic absenteeism issue, ranging from 25.8% at Leal Elementary to 53.5% at Urbana High School, is a significant concern that needs to be addressed.

While Urbana High School has a relatively strong graduation rate, its academic proficiency lags behind the state average, suggesting the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, instruction, and support systems. The district's high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.73% at Leal Elementary to 91.58% at M.L. King Jr. Elementary, also raise questions about equity and access to quality education within the Urbana School District 116.
