Summary:
Carbondale CHSD 165 is a school district in Illinois that serves the Carbondale area, containing a single high school, Carbondale Community High School. The high school has a mixed performance, with some areas of strength but also several areas of concern. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate and decent test scores in certain subjects, it also struggles with high chronic absenteeism and lower-than-average test scores in other areas.
Carbondale Community High School's four-year graduation rate of 89.0% is slightly above the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.4% is relatively low. However, the school's test scores are more varied, with 11th-grade students scoring below the state average in ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Science, and several PreACT Secure subjects. The school performs better in ACT/Mathematics and SAT/Mathematics, where its scores match or exceed the state averages. The school's per-student spending of $21,030 is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 13.6 is relatively low.
Overall, Carbondale Community High School has room for improvement, particularly in areas such as test scores and chronic absenteeism. While the school benefits from the district's investment in resources, these factors alone do not guarantee strong academic performance. Comparing the school's performance to other high schools in the region could provide valuable insights to help the school better serve its students and community.
