Summary:
The city of Mount Zion, Illinois is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Mt Zion CUSD 3 district. The data reveals a mix of performance across the schools, with Mt Zion High School standing out as the top-performing school in the district.
Mt Zion High School has consistently ranked among the top 25% of Illinois high schools, with strong academic performance and a low dropout rate. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district show more varied results, with some grades and subjects exceeding state averages and others falling behind. A concerning district-wide challenge is the alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, well above the state average.
The range in free/reduced lunch rates, from 24.4% at Mt Zion High School to 36.1% at McGaughey Elementary, suggests the district serves a diverse student population with varying levels of economic disadvantage. This is an important consideration when analyzing the district's performance and identifying ways to support all students.
