Summary:
The Virginia Junior/Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Virginia CUSD 64 district in Illinois. This school serves grades 6-12 and has an enrollment of 141 students, with a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families as indicated by the 52.48% free and reduced-price lunch rate.
Academically, the school performs better than the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 67.2% of students proficient or better compared to the state's 41.2%. However, the school struggles in mathematics and science, with only 37.3% and 34.2% of students proficient or better, respectively, compared to the state averages of 28.4% and 53.2%. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 83.3% is slightly lower than the state average, while its dropout rate of 10.7% is higher.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $13,771 and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 11.3, its academic performance in certain areas remains below the state average. This suggests that simply increasing funding and resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes, and the school may need to examine its resource allocation and utilization strategies to address the specific challenges it faces.
