Summary:
The city of Albion, Illinois is home to two schools - Albion Grade School, an elementary school, and Edwards County High School. While both schools serve the Albion community, the data shows that Edwards County High School is the standout performer, ranking in the top 20% of Illinois high schools.
Edwards County High School boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and impressive academic metrics, including a 89% 4-year graduation rate and students who outperform their peers statewide on ACT and PreACT assessments in English, math, and science. In contrast, Albion Grade School, while performing reasonably well, does not stand out as strongly, with a 3-star rating and mixed performance on state assessments.
Both schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates around 25%, well above the state average. Additionally, the data indicates that the Albion community faces economic disadvantages, with 40-45% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, Edwards County CUSD 1 appears to be providing a strong educational experience at the high school level, while there is room for improvement at the elementary level.
