Summary:
The Jersey CUSD 100 school district in Illinois is home to a single high school, Jersey Community High School. This school serves students in grades 9-12 and has a 4-year graduation rate of 89.0%, which is above the state average. However, the school faces challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% that is higher than the state average.
Academically, Jersey Community High School outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grades and 8th grade, as well as in ACT ELA and ACT Science for 11th grade. But the school underperforms the state average in Mathematics proficiency across all grades and 8th grade, as well as in ACT Mathematics for 11th grade. The school's per-student spending of $12,577 is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 17.9 is slightly lower than the state average.
Over the past few years, Jersey Community High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 201 out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 to 267 out of 698 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state, despite its strengths in certain academic areas. The school's demographics, with a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 39.15%, indicate that it may be serving a more economically disadvantaged student population, which could contribute to the challenges in Mathematics proficiency.
