Sandwich Community High School

Summary:

Sandwich Community High School is a public high school serving 569 students in grades 9-12 in Sandwich, Illinois, which is part of the Sandwich CUSD 430 district. The school has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 88% to 93.2% in recent years, which is generally higher than the state average. However, the school's academic performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with proficiency rates in SAT Math (18%) and SAT ELA (26.6%) lower than the state averages, but a higher proficiency rate in ISA Science (49.6%) compared to the state average.

Compared to nearby high schools, Sandwich Community High School performs better academically than some smaller schools, such as Leland High School and Newark Community High School, but lags behind the larger and higher-performing Yorkville High School. Additionally, Hinckley-Big Rock High School and Somonauk High School have shown stronger academic performance in recent years.

One area of concern for Sandwich Community High School is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.1% in 2019-2020 to 28.8% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. This trend can negatively impact student learning and achievement, and the school and Sandwich CUSD 430 district should focus on addressing this issue.

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.
