Summary:
The Goreville High School is the sole high school serving the Goreville CUD 1 school district in Illinois. While the school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89%, its performance on standardized tests, such as the ACT and SAT, is below the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is quite high, which can be a concern.
Goreville High School's test scores in ELA, Math, and Science are all below the state averages, indicating a need for improvement in the school's curriculum and instructional practices. The school also serves a population with a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 43.75%, which can present additional challenges in terms of academic support and resources.
Despite these challenges, the school has maintained a relatively high graduation rate, which is a positive indicator. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 345 out of 698 Illinois high schools in 2024-2025 to 398 out of 699 in 2022-2023. This trend suggests the need for the school and district to implement strategies to improve student outcomes and address the areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and academic performance on standardized tests.
