Summary:
The city of Edinburg, Illinois is home to three small public schools: Edinburg Elementary School, Edinburg High School, and Edinburg Junior High School, all part of the Edinburg CUSD 4 district. While the schools face some challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, they also have bright spots, with Edinburg High School and Edinburg Junior High School outperforming state averages on certain test scores.
Edinburg High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 408 out of 698 Illinois high schools and boasting a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%. The school also performs better than the district and state averages on some test scores, such as 9th grade PreACT Secure English Language Arts. Edinburg Junior High School also shows promise, ranking 716 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools and outperforming the district and state on 8th grade IAR English Language Arts and 8th grade ISA Science.
Despite these bright spots, the schools in Edinburg face significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 45.59% at Edinburg High to 62.75% at Edinburg Elementary. The small enrollments, ranging from 61 to 102 students, and low student-teacher ratios, from 9.2 to 11.7, may provide opportunities for more personalized attention, but the data does not indicate whether this is translating into better academic results across the board.
