Summary:

The city of Biggsville, Illinois is home to three schools: two elementary schools (West Central Elementary School and West Central Early Childhood) and one high school (West Central High School). These schools are part of the West Central CUSD 235 district, which is ranked 736 out of 811 districts in Illinois and rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

The data reveals that the West Central Early Childhood center is the smallest school with only 54 students and the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 66.67%. Meanwhile, West Central High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%, but its test scores are significantly below the state averages, with only 6.5% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT Mathematics. Both the elementary and high schools struggle with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages, as well as high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4%.

Overall, the data paints a picture of a struggling school district with consistently low performance across all three schools. The district appears to serve a population with significant economic challenges, and addressing issues like chronic absenteeism and equity of resources may be crucial for improving student outcomes in the Biggsville area.
