Summary:
The Western CUSD 12 district in Illinois consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The data reveals that Western Junior High School and Western High School are the standout performers in the district, while Western Barry Elementary faces some challenges.
Western Junior High School ranks 542 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency and had a relatively low student-teacher ratio. Western High School ranks 347 out of 698 Illinois high schools, also with a 3-star rating. It achieved a high graduation rate, low dropout rate, and outperformed the district and state in ACT proficiency for 11th graders.
In contrast, Western Barry Elementary had lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state. All three schools had high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and consistent chronic absenteeism rates. The district's spending per student and low student-teacher ratios suggest a focus on resource allocation, but the academic performance, particularly at the elementary level, indicates a need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes across the Western CUSD 12 district.
