Dundee-Crown High School

Summary:

Dundee-Crown High School is a public high school located in Carpentersville, Illinois, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,636 students. The school is part of Community Unit School District 300, which is ranked 411 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dundee-Crown High School has consistently ranked in the middle range of Illinois high schools, maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 5 years. The school performs relatively well for its White and Multi-racial student populations but struggles with lower rankings for its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Homeless student populations. Dundee-Crown High School has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 92.6% to 94.8% over the past 5 years, but has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.2% in 2019-2020 to 52.9% in 2021-2022. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in SAT Mathematics (14.7%), SAT English Language Arts (19.2%), and ISA Science (35.1%) are significantly below the CUSD 300 and Illinois state averages.

Despite the school's challenges, Dundee-Crown High School's per-student spending has increased over the past few years, reaching $14,194 in 2022-2023. However, this spending level is still lower than the nearby Cary-Grove Community High School ($18,325) and Barrington High School ($18,856). By addressing the root causes of the school's lower academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and achievement gaps, Dundee-Crown High School could potentially make significant strides in enhancing the educational outcomes for its diverse student population.

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.
