Chsd 218

The Chsd 218 school district in Illinois operates 3 high schools that serve students in grades 9-12. The data reveals significant variations in academic performance, student demographics, and other key metrics among these schools, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address the identified challenges and promote more equitable educational opportunities for all students.

The standout school in the district is A.B. Shepard High School, which has the highest student enrollment, the best 4-year graduation rate, and the strongest SAT performance, outpacing the district and state averages in both Math and English Language Arts. In contrast, D.D. Eisenhower High School lags behind, with the lowest 4-year graduation rate, the highest dropout rate, and the weakest academic performance on the SAT. H.L. Richards High School stands out for its high 4-year graduation rate and low chronic absenteeism rate.

The racial demographics of the schools also vary significantly, with A.B. Shepard having a more balanced racial distribution and D.D. Eisenhower having a majority Hispanic student population. This disparity raises questions about equity and access to educational opportunities within the district. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at D.D. Eisenhower, are a concern and may be linked to other academic and social challenges faced by students. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and resource allocation could lead to more equitable outcomes across the Chsd 218 district.
