Summary:

The school has seen fluctuations in its academic performance, with standardized test scores generally below the state average, particularly in mathematics.

The school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.5% to 92.8% over the past five years, but has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 21.3% in 2019-2020 to 36.6% in 2023-2024. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well, while Hispanic and White students, as well as English Language Learners and students with disabilities, have struggled.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Grant Park High School, Central High School, and Peotone High School, Bradley-Bourbonnais C High School generally performs worse on academic measures, with lower test scores and graduation rates. However, the nearby Kankakee High School has significantly lower academic performance than Bradley-Bourbonnais C High School. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33.93% to 45.08% in recent years, suggests that the school serves a population with a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which may contribute to some of the academic and attendance challenges observed.

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.
