High Schools in Carrollton CUSD 1

Carrollton CUSD 1 is a small school district in Illinois that contains only one high school, Carrollton High School. This high school serves students in grades 9-12 and has a relatively low enrollment of 186 students. While the school has some areas of strength, such as a higher-than-average graduation rate, it also faces challenges in terms of its overall performance and student engagement.

Carrollton High School has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the bottom half of Illinois high schools. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 252 out of 698 schools to 470 out of 697 schools. Academically, the school performs above the state average in ACT/ELA and ACT/Math, but below average in ACT/Science and on the SAT. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, significantly above the state average.

Despite the school's below-average performance in some areas, Carrollton High School spends more per student than the state average. This raises questions about how the school is allocating its resources and whether they are being used effectively to support student learning. The school's small size and relatively low-income student population may also be contributing factors to its performance and metrics.
