Summary:
The Kansas CUSD 3 district in Illinois contains only one high school, Kansas High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 315 out of 698 Illinois high schools in 2024-2025 to 599 out of 697 in 2023-2024, indicating inconsistent academic performance.
While Kansas High School has a relatively strong graduation rate of 89.0% in 2024-2025, the school faces challenges in other areas. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below state and district averages, and the school's ACT and PreACT Secure test scores show mixed results. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and a dropout rate of 2.4%, which are areas of concern that may require targeted interventions.
The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 62.96% in 2023-2024. However, the school's relatively high per-student spending of $19,428 in 2023-2024 and low student-teacher ratio of 7.5 to 1 suggest that resources are being allocated to support the learning environment, though these resources may not be translating into consistently strong student outcomes.
