Summary:
Marissa CUSD 40 is a school district in Illinois that contains a single high school, Marissa Junior & Senior High School. This school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from a 3-star rating to a 2-star rating. While the school's 4-year graduation rate is above the state average, it faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate.
Academically, Marissa Junior & Senior High School outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, particularly in the middle grades. However, the school struggles more in Mathematics proficiency compared to state averages. A bright spot is the school's 8th grade science proficiency, which exceeds the state average. Unfortunately, the school's 11th grade SAT performance in both ELA and Mathematics is significantly below the state averages.
The school serves a relatively high-need student population, with a majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school's per-student spending is above the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is lower than the state average. These factors may contribute to the school's academic performance, which has shown some strengths but also areas for improvement.
