Summary:
Dieterich CUSD 30 is a small school district in Illinois that contains a single high school, Dieterich Junior/Senior High School, serving grades 7-12. With 265 students and a 14.7 student-teacher ratio, the school has a relatively small enrollment compared to state averages.
Dieterich Junior/Senior High School has demonstrated some academic strengths, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 8th grade ELA and Science proficiency rates exceeded state averages, indicating effective instruction in these subject areas. However, the school faces challenges in Mathematics, with 7th and 8th grade Math proficiency rates falling below state averages. The school's 11th grade ACT performance was mixed, with ELA and Science scores close to or slightly above state averages, but Math scores lagging behind.
While the school's four-year graduation rate of 89.0% is respectable, its chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is higher than the state average, which may be impacting overall academic performance. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated significantly in recent years, suggesting inconsistent or sensitive performance. To address these areas of concern, the school should evaluate its curriculum, instructional strategies, and support systems, particularly in Mathematics, and implement targeted strategies to improve student attendance and engagement.
