Clay City CUSD 10

Summary:

The Clay City CUSD 10 district in Illinois operates three schools: Clay City Elementary School, Clay City High School, and Clay City Junior High School. The district appears to be struggling overall, with all three schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types statewide and receiving low 1-2 star ratings from SchoolDigger.

Clay City High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is above the state average. However, the high school has low proficiency rates in SAT Math (0%) and English Language Arts (6.3%) for 11th grade in 2023-2024. Clay City Elementary School has higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd grade where the school's 44.4% proficiency rate exceeds the state's 47.3%. Conversely, the elementary school has lower proficiency rates in Math and Science compared to state averages.

Across the district, there are notable challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates around 25.4% in 2024-2025 and a large percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, ranging from 47.14% at the high school to 57.55% at the elementary school. The junior high school struggles the most with Math proficiency, with only 10.3% of students proficient across all grades in 2024-2025. With relatively small enrollments, the schools may face resource constraints that contribute to the overall low performance compared to state averages.
