Summary:
The city of Roxana, Illinois is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Roxana CUSD 1 district. While the district as a whole is ranked 552 out of 811 in Illinois and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, there are a few standout schools worth highlighting.
Roxana Senior High School is the district's highest-performing school, ranked 312 out of 698 Illinois high schools and maintaining a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0%. The school also outperforms the district and state averages in some test scores, such as 9th grade PreACT Secure English Language Arts. In contrast, Roxana Junior High School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.6 compared to the high school's 14.6 and performs better than the district average in 8th grade IAR English Language Arts.
However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools (25.4%) and generally below-average test scores compared to state averages. Additionally, the schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.51% at Roxana Senior High School to 63.11% at Central Intermediate School, suggesting socioeconomic challenges that may impact student performance. The district's varying spending per student, from $16,257 to $18,109, may also contribute to differences in resources and educational opportunities available to students.
