Summary:
The Anna Jonesboro CHSD 81 school district in Illinois contains only one high school, Anna-Jonesboro High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance on various academic measures, such as test scores and graduation rates, is generally below the state averages, indicating room for improvement.
Anna-Jonesboro High School has an enrollment of 486 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.2, slightly higher than the state average. The school's performance on standardized tests like the ACT and SAT is below the state averages, with only 36.4% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT Mathematics, compared to the state average of 39.3%. The school's four-year graduation rate of 89.0% is also slightly lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $16,149, its academic performance remains below the state average. The school's statewide SchoolDigger ranking has declined over the past few years, from 326 out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 to 498 out of 697 in 2023-2024. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's outcomes, and the district and administration should closely examine the school's underperformance in mathematics and high chronic absenteeism rates to identify areas for potential improvement.
