Summary:
The Schuyler-Industry CUSD 5 district in Illinois operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces challenges, with schools generally performing below state averages on standardized tests and high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage among the student population.
Among the district's schools, Webster Elementary School stands out as the highest performer, with stronger test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. It also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1. In contrast, Rushville-Industry High School has lower test scores than the state average but a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a lower dropout rate of 2.4%.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are high, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%, significantly above the state average. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch is also high, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Spending per student varies significantly, from $10,960 at Washington Elementary to $16,398 at Webster Elementary, which may contribute to the differences in academic performance.
