While the district's schools generally perform well, there are some areas for improvement. All three schools have a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which could benefit from targeted interventions. Additionally, there are socioeconomic disparities within the district, as evidenced by the differences in free and reduced-price lunch rates between the elementary, middle, and high schools. The district may also want to explore ways to ensure more equitable resource allocation and support across all grade levels, as Illini Bluffs High School has a higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the other schools.
