Summary:
The city of Plano, Illinois is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in this area serve students from diverse backgrounds and face varying academic challenges.
Plano High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 330 out of 697 Illinois high schools and boasting a 4-year graduation rate of 89.0%. However, the school still performs below the state average in several key academic areas, including ACT/ELA, ACT/Math, and SAT/Math. In contrast, Emily G Johns School outperforms the district and state averages in IAR/ELA for all grades, with particularly strong performance in 6th grade. Conversely, Centennial Elementary School struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in both IAR/ELA and IAR/Math, and a significant decline in performance from the previous year.
Across the Plano CUSD 88 district, high rates of chronic absenteeism (25.4%) and students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 52.29% to 61.62%) suggest that socioeconomic factors may be impacting student achievement. Additionally, the varying levels of spending per student, from $14,240 to $17,355, may contribute to the disparities in academic performance observed among the schools.
