Summary:
The city of Cuba, Illinois is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Cuba Elementary School, Cuba Senior High School, and Cuba Middle School. These schools are part of the CUSD 3 Fulton County district, which is ranked 572 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the three schools, Cuba Senior High School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 316 out of 698 Illinois high schools in 2024-2025. It has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%. Additionally, the school performs well on some standardized tests, with 52.2% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts and 57.7% of 10th graders proficient or better in PreACT Secure Science. In contrast, Cuba Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in 5th grade IAR English Language Arts and 3rd grade IAR Mathematics, demonstrating its academic strengths.
However, all three schools face common challenges, such as relatively high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the state average. The schools also vary in their student populations, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranging from 34.15% at Cuba Senior High School to 51.81% at Cuba Elementary School in 2023-2024. These socioeconomic factors may play a role in the schools' performance and highlight the need for targeted support and resources to address the diverse needs of the student population.
