Summary:
The Central CUSD 3 district in Illinois consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals that Central High School is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top 100 high schools in Illinois and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 89% and outperforms the state average in math and science proficiency.
In contrast, the middle schools in the district show more mixed results. While Central 3-4 Middle School performs well on English Language Arts assessments and demonstrates stronger math performance than the district and state, Central Junior High School has more varied results. This suggests that the district may have opportunities to examine and implement the practices used at the higher-performing middle school across the district.
Across the district, a significant percentage of students, ranging from 36.91% at Central High School to 45.45% at Central Elementary Grade School, are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This socioeconomic challenge may present opportunities for the district to provide additional support and resources to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
