Summary:
The Bloom Township HSD 206 district in Illinois is home to two high schools: Bloom High School and Bloom Trail High School. Both schools serve students in grades 9-12 and exhibit similar academic profiles, with consistently low performance across various metrics compared to state and district averages.
Neither Bloom High School nor Bloom Trail High School stand out as exceptional performers. Both schools are ranked in the bottom half of Illinois high schools, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. Their four-year graduation rates of 89.0% are slightly below the state average, and their dropout rates of 2.4% are slightly higher. Additionally, both schools have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, significantly higher than the state average.
Academically, the schools struggle across various subject areas, with proficiency rates in ACT, PreACT Secure, SAT, and ISA Science significantly lower than state averages. This suggests systemic challenges within the Bloom Township HSD 206 district that need to be addressed, potentially related to factors such as resource allocation, curriculum, and teacher support. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 82-84%, also indicates that the schools serve a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by these institutions.
