Summary:
The Champaign CUSD 4 school district in Illinois is home to two high schools: Central High School and Centennial High School. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and have seen varying levels of academic performance in recent years.
Central High School stands out as the stronger performer, consistently ranking higher among Illinois high schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Centennial High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars over the past few years.
The data analysis reveals that Central High School outperforms Centennial High School and the district/state averages in various standardized test scores, including ACT, PreACT Secure, and SAT. Additionally, Centennial High School has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it serves a more economically disadvantaged student population. Despite this, Centennial High School has a higher per-student spending, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the factors that contribute to academic success.
