Summary:
Intrinsic 2 Charter High School is the sole high school in the data set, serving grades 9-12 in Chicago, Illinois. This public charter school has faced declining performance over the past three years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 527th out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 to 556th out of 698 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Intrinsic 2 Charter High School struggles, with proficiency rates on standardized tests like the ACT, PreACT Secure, and SAT consistently lower than the state averages across all subject areas. The school's four-year graduation rate of 89.0% for the 2024-2025 school year is also below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 11:1, and its per-student spending of $22,297 for the 2023-2024 school year is higher than the state average.
The data suggests that Intrinsic 2 Charter High School faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes and academic achievement, despite its small class sizes and higher per-student spending. The school's predominantly low-income student population, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the academic challenges the school is facing. Addressing these issues will be crucial for the school to improve its performance and provide equitable educational opportunities for its students.
