Summary:
The Hutsonville CUSD 1 district in Illinois serves two schools: Hutsonville Elementary and Junior High School and Hutsonville High School. While the elementary/junior high school struggles with lower-than-average test scores, particularly in ELA, the high school performs better, with higher proficiency rates in 11th grade ACT subjects compared to state averages. Both schools, however, face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, well above the state average.
Hutsonville Elementary and Junior High School stands out for its relatively high proficiency rates in 5th and 8th grade science, as well as strong 5th grade ELA proficiency. The school also has a high student-teacher ratio of 9.2, indicating smaller class sizes. In contrast, Hutsonville High School impresses with an impressive 89% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average, and a relatively low 2.4% dropout rate.
While Hutsonville High School spends more per student ($21,367) compared to the elementary/junior high ($16,852) and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 6.8, the district as a whole faces the challenge of addressing the chronic absenteeism issue, which could be a significant factor impacting student performance and overall school success. Ensuring equitable resource distribution across the district could also be an area for improvement.
