Summary:
The city of Virden, Illinois is home to two schools - North Mac High School and North Mac Elementary, both part of the North Mac CUSD 34 district. Based on the available data, these schools appear to be underperforming compared to state-wide averages across a range of metrics, including school rankings, test scores, and graduation rates.
Neither school stands out as a clear high performer, with North Mac High School ranking between the 308th and 496th out of 697-699 Illinois high schools and being rated 1-3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. North Mac Elementary fares slightly better, ranking between the 964th and 1077th out of 2,093-2,167 Illinois elementary schools and earning a 3 out of 5 star rating. Both schools have relatively low standardized test scores compared to state averages, with the exception of science proficiency at the high school level.
The data also suggests potential resource allocation challenges, with North Mac Elementary spending significantly more per student than North Mac High School. Additionally, both schools serve a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the overall underperformance of the schools in the Virden area.
