Summary:
The city of Rushville, Illinois is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Schuyler-Industry CUSD 5 district. While the district faces some systemic challenges, a few schools stand out for their performance.
Webster Elementary School appears to be the highest performing school in the district, with stronger test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, the other schools in the district, including Washington Elementary, Schuyler Industry Middle School, and Rushville-Industry High School, have test scores that are significantly below state averages, suggesting a district-wide issue with academic performance.
Across the district, schools face challenges such as high chronic absenteeism rates of around 25.4% and varying free/reduced lunch rates, from 19.12% at Washington Elementary to 55.73% at Schuyler Industry Middle School. While Rushville-Industry High School stands out for its relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and low dropout rate of 2.4%, the district as a whole will likely need to address these systemic issues to improve educational outcomes for students in Rushville.
