Limestone Community High School

Summary:

Limestone Community High School is a public high school in Peoria, Illinois, serving 924 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Limestone CHSD 310 district, which is ranked 467 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Limestone Community High School faces several challenges. Academically, the school's performance on standardized tests is below the state average, with only 16.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Mathematics, compared to the state average of 26.1%. The school's graduation rate of 74.6% is also lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has been increasing, reaching 6.2% in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.2%, significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with lower rankings for African American, Hispanic, and students with disabilities.

While Limestone Community High School performs better than some nearby schools, such as Quest Charter School Academy and Peoria High School, it lags behind other nearby schools, such as East Peoria High School and Pekin Community High School, which have higher academic performance and better graduation and dropout rates. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $17,873, the data suggests that the additional resources may not be effectively improving student outcomes, and the school may need to address issues of equity and inclusion to better support 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.
