Summary:

The Hinsdale Township HSD 86 district in Illinois is home to two high schools: Hinsdale Central High School and Hinsdale South High School. While both schools are strong performers, Hinsdale Central stands out as an exceptional institution, consistently ranking among the top high schools in the state.

Hinsdale Central High School has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the highest-performing schools in Illinois. Its students significantly outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 87.8% proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, 81.5% in ACT Mathematics, and 82.5% in ACT Science. In contrast, Hinsdale South High School, while still a strong performer, has lower rankings and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, with 65.5% proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, 53.2% in ACT Mathematics, and 59.7% in ACT Science.

Despite the performance gap, both schools have impressive 4-year graduation rates of 89.0% and low dropout rates of 2.4%. However, the data reveals that Hinsdale South spends significantly more per student ($34,116) compared to Hinsdale Central ($26,535), raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the potential need to re-evaluate spending priorities to better support student learning across the district.
