Summary:
Elverado CUSD 196 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of Elverado. The district has only one high school, Elverado High School, which has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, now sitting at 487th out of 698 Illinois high schools.
Elverado High School is performing below average compared to other schools in the state, with a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a 89.0% four-year graduation rate, slightly below the state average, and a 2.4% dropout rate, slightly higher than the state average. One significant concern is the school's 25.4% chronic absenteeism rate, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Elverado High School's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state averages for 11th, 10th, and 9th grade students.
Despite spending $17,308 per student, which is higher than the state average, and having a relatively low 9.4 student-teacher ratio, Elverado High School is struggling to improve student outcomes. The high percentage of students (61.95%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may be contributing to the lower performance. Addressing the root causes of the school's declining performance, such as chronic absenteeism and low test scores, will be crucial for Elverado CUSD 196 to improve and better serve its students.
