Summary:
Herrin CUSD 4 is a school district in Illinois that contains a single high school, Herrin High School. The high school serves students in grades 9-12 and has faced some challenges in terms of academic performance and consistency, as indicated by its fluctuating statewide ranking and performance rating over the past three school years.
Herrin High School's proficiency rates in various standardized tests, including ACT, PreACT Secure, SAT, and ISA, tend to be lower than the state averages, suggesting potential academic challenges for the students. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% is slightly above the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is on the higher side. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 58.77%.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,289, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. Further investigation into the specific factors contributing to the school's performance and the strategies being implemented to address these challenges would be valuable in understanding the school's strengths and areas for improvement.
