Summary:
The Scott-Morgan CUSD 2 school district in Illinois contains a single high school, Bluffs High School, which serves a relatively small student population of 58 students. Despite its small size, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 5.9 and spends a relatively high amount of $17,606 per student.
Bluffs High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 219th out of 698 Illinois high schools in 2024-2025 to 466th out of 699 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with students performing above the state average in English Language Arts but below average in Mathematics and Science. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 89.0% is slightly above the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is relatively high.
The small size of Bluffs High School may allow for more personalized attention and support for students, but it could also limit the range of course offerings and extracurricular activities available. The school's fluctuating performance and mixed academic outcomes suggest a need to focus on improving STEM education and addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism. Overall, the data indicates that Bluffs High School faces some challenges, but also benefits from a small school size and relatively high per-student spending.
