The high school significantly underperforms the state average in both SAT Mathematics and ELA, though it performs better than the state in the Illinois Science Assessment.

Both schools spend more per student than the state average and maintain favorable student-teacher ratios, yet their academic performance suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the observed outcomes. The data reveals a significant disparity in academic performance between the elementary and high school, with the elementary school outperforming the high school. Addressing challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and the academic performance gap, could be crucial in improving the overall educational outcomes for students in this area.
