Summary:
The Centralia HSD 200 district in Illinois contains a single high school, Centralia High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 329 out of 697 Illinois high schools in 2023-2024 to 484 out of 699 in 2022-2023.
Centralia High School's academic struggles are evident in its consistently lower proficiency rates compared to state averages on standardized assessments like the ACT, PreACT Secure, and SAT. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.4% is higher than the state average. Additionally, Centralia High School has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's relatively low performance, Centralia High School's per-student spending of $19,263 for the 2023-2024 school year is higher than the state average. This raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to address the school's academic challenges and improve educational outcomes for its students, who come from a predominantly low-income background with 65.55% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
