The Paxton-Buckley-Loda CUD 10 district in Illinois operates three schools: Clara Peterson Elementary School, Paxton-Buckley-Loda High School, and Paxton-Buckley-Loda Junior High School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, with all three schools reporting high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4%, significantly above the state average.

The district may benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions to address these areas of concern.
