Summary:
The Triopia CUSD 27 district in Illinois operates two schools: Triopia Grade School, an elementary school, and Triopia Junior-Senior High School. While the elementary school consistently ranks among the top in the state, the high school faces challenges in academic performance and student attendance.
Triopia Grade School is a standout, with students performing exceptionally well in English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly exceeding state averages. The school's 3rd and 6th graders, in particular, demonstrate over 90% and 86.8% proficiency in ELA, respectively. In contrast, Triopia Junior-Senior High School lags behind the district and state averages in ELA and Mathematics proficiency, especially in 8th grade and high school-level assessments.
Both schools face a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism, with rates reaching 25.4%, well above the state average. Additionally, a substantial proportion of students at both schools (35.12% and 37.43%, respectively) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. While the district allocates resources effectively, with the high school spending slightly more per student, the stark contrast in academic performance between the elementary and secondary levels suggests a need for targeted interventions to ensure a seamless academic transition for students.
