McHenry CCSD 15

The McHenry CCSD 15 district in Illinois serves students from 6 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, but no high schools or alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 383 out of 811 in Illinois and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Landmark Elementary School ranks 478 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and is rated 4 stars, with strong test scores and a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. Parkland School, a middle school, ranks 452 out of 1,368 Illinois middle schools and is rated 3 stars, with higher test scores than the district and state averages. Valley View Elementary School also has strong test scores, ranking 806 out of 2,056 Illinois elementary schools and rated 3 stars.

However, the district faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% across all schools and significant variation in test scores, with some schools performing much better than others. The schools with the highest percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as Hilltop Elementary School and Chauncey H Duker School, generally had lower test scores compared to schools with lower percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients. The district's spending per student also varies, from $17,784 at Riverwood Elementary School to $21,599 at Edgebrook Elementary School, but this does not appear to directly correlate with test score performance.
