Summary:
The city of Somonauk, Illinois is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: James R Wood Elementary School, Somonauk Middle School, and Somonauk High School. These schools are part of the Somonauk CUSD 432 district and serve a diverse student population with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Among the standout schools in the district, Somonauk Middle School and Somonauk High School have consistently performed well, ranking in the top 100 and top 200 schools in Illinois, respectively. These schools have maintained strong academic performance, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as impressive graduation rates and low dropout rates.
While the district as a whole spends above the state average per student and maintains relatively low student-teacher ratios, there are some areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate across all three schools. Additionally, James R Wood Elementary School has lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to support student learning at the elementary level.
