Lawrence County CUD 20

Summary:

The Lawrence County CUD 20 district in Illinois serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 3 schools: Parkside Elementary School, Lawrenceville High School, and Parkview Junior High School. While the district faces some challenges, there are also areas of strength that parents should be aware of.

Parkside Elementary School stands out for its relatively high proficiency rates in English Language Arts, though its math proficiency lags behind state averages. Lawrenceville High School has a strong 4-year graduation rate, but its test scores are lower than state norms. Parkview Junior High School excels in ELA but struggles with math proficiency.

A concerning trend across all three schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, significantly above the state average. This may be impacting academic performance district-wide. Additionally, the district as a whole is ranked 632 out of 811 in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating broader systemic challenges. However, the higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios suggest the district is allocating resources, though the outcomes do not fully reflect this investment.
