Summary:
The Prentice School District has only one high school, Prentice High, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school boasts a 100% four-year graduation rate, its academic performance has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates in core subjects fluctuating above and below the state averages.
Prentice High's statewide ranking has ranged from 203 out of 415 schools in 2022-2023 to 367 out of 431 schools in 2023-2024, indicating significant changes in its performance from year to year. The school's overall rating by SchoolDigger is 1 out of 5 stars, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 12.8% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 42.74% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
While Prentice High's graduation rate is impressive, its academic proficiency rates in core subjects like the Forward Exam/Social Studies, ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science are generally below the state averages. This suggests that the school may be focused on ensuring students graduate, even if their academic achievement is not as strong. To improve the school's performance, Prentice High could benefit from addressing its chronic absenteeism rate and focusing on improving its academic proficiency in key subject areas.
