Summary:

The Joliet Township HSD 204 school district in Illinois operates two high schools: Joliet West High School and Joliet Central High School. The data shows that Joliet West High School is the higher-performing of the two, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger compared to a 1-star rating for Joliet Central High School.

Joliet West High School outperforms Joliet Central High School and the district average on most standardized test proficiency metrics, including ACT, PreACT Secure, and SAT. For example, in 2024-2025, 38.3% of Joliet West 11th graders were proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, compared to 28.0% at Joliet Central and the district average of 33.4%. However, both schools and the district lag behind the state averages on most test proficiency measures, indicating room for improvement in academic outcomes.

The data also reveals that Joliet Central High School has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (76.71%) compared to Joliet West (58.79%), suggesting Joliet Central serves a more economically disadvantaged student population. Both schools face challenges in terms of high chronic absenteeism rates, which is a concern and likely impacts student learning and achievement. Addressing chronic absenteeism could be an area of focus for the district.
