Summary:
The city of Tremont, Illinois is home to three schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: Tremont Elementary School, Tremont Middle School, and Tremont High School. These schools, operated by Tremont CUSD 702, generally outperform state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, particularly at the high school level.
Tremont High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 95th out of 698 Illinois high schools and boasting a high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%. The school also excels academically, with strong proficiency rates in ACT English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Tremont Middle School also performs well, ranking 204th out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools and demonstrating high proficiency rates in IAR English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as 5th and 8th grade science.
While the schools in Tremont CUSD 702 have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a relatively affluent student population, they face a challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, which may suggest potential equity issues that need to be addressed. However, the district's higher-than-average spending per student and small class sizes suggest a strong commitment to supporting student learning and success.
