Roxana Senior High School

Summary:

Roxana Senior High School is a public high school serving 515 students in grades 9-12 in Roxana, Illinois, which is part of the Roxana CUSD 1 district. While the school has some strengths, such as stronger performance in science assessments, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois high schools and has lower-than-average student achievement on standardized tests.

Roxana Senior High School's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 81.2% to 91.8% over the past five years, which is generally lower than the state average. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 18.1% in 2019-2020 to 37.4% in 2023-2024, well above the state average. The school serves a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 42.33% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, Edwardsville High School and Civic Memorial High School have stronger academic outcomes and lower chronic absenteeism rates, while Madison Senior High School and Granite City High School have similar performance levels to Roxana Senior High School. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and improving student engagement could be a priority for Roxana Senior High School, along with targeted interventions for underperforming student subgroups.

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.
