Summary:
The 62321 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 high school, 1 elementary school, and 1 middle school. While the schools show some areas of strength, there are also notable disparities in academic performance and resource allocation across the district.
Illini West High School is the top-performing school in the area, ranked 322 out of 697 Illinois high schools. However, the school struggles with a concerning 29.1% chronic absenteeism rate, and its student performance on standardized tests, such as the SAT, falls below state averages in both mathematics and English Language Arts. In contrast, Carthage Middle School outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency, but lags behind in mathematics.
The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation, with Illini West High School spending $14,413 per student, while the two Carthage Education Service District 317 schools spend around $11,400 per student. This suggests the need for a closer examination of how resources are distributed across the district to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students.
