North Clay Community High School

Summary:

North Clay Community High School is a public high school in Louisville, Illinois, serving 178 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the North Clay CUSD 25 district, which is ranked 698 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Clay Community High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois high schools over the past decade, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating below-average performance. The school's student groups show significant disparities, with female students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing poorly compared to their peers. However, special education students have performed relatively better. The school's graduation rate has declined in recent years, and its dropout rate has fluctuated, generally higher than the state average. Academically, North Clay students perform well below the state average in mathematics and English language arts on the SAT exam, though their science performance is closer to the state average.

While North Clay Community High School is not the lowest-performing school in the immediate area, it generally lags behind nearby schools like Cisne High School and South Central High School in terms of academic achievement, graduation rates, and other key metrics. The school's declining performance over time and the significant disparities in student group performance suggest that North Clay Community High School may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student success.

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.
