Summary:
The Leyden CHSD 212 district in Illinois operates two high schools: East Leyden High School and West Leyden High School. Both schools serve grades 9-12 and have similar overall performance and characteristics, though there are a few notable differences.
East Leyden High School has a slightly higher statewide ranking, with a ranking of 262 out of 698 Illinois high schools compared to West Leyden High School's ranking of 419. East Leyden also has higher proficiency rates in several academic areas, including ACT English Language Arts, ACT Mathematics, and PreACT Secure English Language Arts. Additionally, East Leyden has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a slightly more affluent student population.
However, both schools face some challenges, with lower proficiency rates compared to state averages in several academic areas and high rates of chronic absenteeism. The district as a whole is performing below the state average, ranking 501 out of 811 districts in Illinois. The relatively high spending per student, coupled with the below-average academic performance, suggests that the district may need to examine its resource allocation and instructional practices to improve student outcomes.
