Summary:

The A-C Central CUSD 262 district in Illinois serves students from 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of strengths and challenges across the district's schools.

A-C Central Elementary School stands out as a high performer, with strong academic results in both ELA and Math, significantly exceeding district and state averages. However, the school faces a high chronic absenteeism rate, which could be an area for improvement. In contrast, A-C Central High School has shown mixed academic performance, with stronger results in English and Science but weaker performance in Math on the ACT and PreACT Secure assessments.

Across the district, there are concerns about high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4% in all three schools. Additionally, the data suggests potential inequities in resource allocation, with differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools. The district-wide decline in statewide School Digger rankings over the past three years also indicates areas for improvement in overall school performance.
