Summary:
Carlinville CUSD 1 is a school district in Illinois that contains a single high school, Carlinville High School. The high school serves grades 9-12 and has a student population of 361. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, it maintains a relatively strong 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%. However, the school faces challenges with academic performance, particularly in mathematics, and a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%.
Carlinville High School's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with 52.3% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, but only 34.9% proficient or better in ACT/Mathematics. This suggests the school may need to focus on improving its math instruction and support for students in this subject area. Additionally, the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 47.37%, indicates a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may have implications for the school's resource needs and support services.
Despite these challenges, Carlinville High School benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1 and per-student spending that is slightly higher than the state average at $12,727. As the sole high school in the Carlinville CUSD 1 district, the school's performance and the district's efforts to address its areas of concern will be crucial in supporting the success of students in the local community.
