Casey-Westfield Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Casey-Westfield Junior/Senior High School is a public high school serving 365 students in grades 7-12 in Casey, Illinois. The school is part of the Casey-Westfield CUSD 4C district, which is ranked 582 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from 122nd to 476th out of Illinois high schools. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 2 to 4 stars out of 5. The school's performance for female and male students has been relatively strong, ranking in the top 25-30% of Illinois high schools in recent years. However, the performance of white students and special education students has been weaker, ranking in the bottom 50% of Illinois high schools. Interestingly, the school has performed exceptionally well for low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 15% of Illinois high schools in recent years. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 80.3% to 88.1% over the past few years, which is generally in line with the state average, but the dropout rate has been more variable, ranging from 1.1% to 10.0%, with the higher rates occurring more recently. Chronic absenteeism at the school has been on the rise, increasing from 8.2% in 2019-2020 to 25.1% in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Marshall High School, Kansas High School, Charleston High School, and Martinsville Junior-Senior High School, Casey-Westfield Junior/Senior High School has shown similar performance characteristics. However, some schools, like Marshall High School, have shown stronger academic performance and higher graduation rates. The high performance of low socioeconomic status students at Casey-Westfield Junior/Senior High School is an interesting finding, but the weaker performance of white and special education students indicates potential areas for improvement. The increasing chronic absenteeism rate at the school is also a concerning trend that the school and district should address.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
