Litchfield Senior High School

Summary:

Litchfield Senior High School is a public high school serving 411 students in grades 9-12 in Litchfield, Illinois, which is part of the Litchfield CUSD 12 district. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 161 out of 699 Illinois high schools (4-star rating) in 2021-2022 to 350 out of 697 (3-star rating) in the current 2023-2024 school year. While the school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating and has seen improvements in its graduation rates, the increasing chronic absenteeism and relatively lower performance in certain subgroups and academic areas suggest the need for targeted interventions and support.

Compared to nearby schools like Lincolnwood High School, Gillespie High School, and Mt. Olive High School, Litchfield Senior High School's performance is generally on par or slightly better in terms of statewide ranking, graduation rates, and test scores. However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to these nearby schools, which may be an area of concern.

Litchfield Senior High School's performance for female and male students has been relatively consistent, with both groups ranking in the top 50% of Illinois high schools in recent years. However, the school's performance for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds has been in the middle to lower range compared to the state, indicating potential achievement gaps that may need to be addressed. Additionally, the school's performance for special education and disabled students has been in the lower range, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support for these student populations.

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.
