Summary:
The Knoxville CUSD 202 district in Illinois serves students from elementary through high school, with three schools in the district: Mable Woolsey Elementary School, Knoxville Senior High School, and Knoxville Junior High School. The data reveals that Mable Woolsey Elementary School is the standout performer in the district, consistently ranking in the top half of Illinois elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency.
In contrast, Knoxville Senior High School and Knoxville Junior High School face some challenges. Knoxville Senior High School lags behind the state averages in ACT/SAT proficiency, particularly in Math, despite having a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89%. Knoxville Junior High School struggles with Math proficiency, with only 27.3% of students proficient or better across all grades. Additionally, all three schools in the district have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is an area of concern that the district should address.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with Mable Woolsey Elementary School having the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 53.06%, followed by Knoxville Senior High School at 48.41% and Knoxville Junior High School at 45.38%. The district's high per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratios suggest a commitment to providing resources, but the academic performance data indicates that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes across the district.
