Chsd 155

The Chsd 155 school district in Illinois encompasses four high schools: Crystal Lake Central High School, Cary-Grove Community High School, Crystal Lake South High School, and Prairie Ridge High School. These schools have consistently performed well, with Cary-Grove Community High School and Prairie Ridge High School standing out as the top performers in the district.

Cary-Grove Community High School and Prairie Ridge High School have been ranked among the best high schools in Illinois, placing 57th, 70th, and 77th in the state over the past three school years. Both schools have maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating excellent overall performance. These two schools also lead the district in proficiency rates on the ACT, SAT, and PreACT Secure tests, with Cary-Grove Community High School having the highest science proficiency rate on the Illinois Science Assessment.

While the district as a whole is performing well, with all four high schools ranking in the top half of Illinois high schools, there are some areas of concern. The chronic absenteeism rates across the district are relatively high, ranging from 25.4% to 26.1%. Additionally, there are variations in the free/reduced lunch rates and spending per student, suggesting potential differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds and resource levels of the schools. However, the consistent graduation rates and low dropout rates across all four high schools indicate a strong focus on student success and retention.
