Summary:
Neoga CUSD 3 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of Neoga. The district has only one high school, Neoga Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. While the school has seen some fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, it currently holds a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and appears to be facing some significant challenges.
Neoga Junior/Senior High School has a slightly below-average four-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a higher-than-average dropout rate of 2.4%. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on standardized tests, such as the IAR and ACT, is generally below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, nearly half (49.26%) of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, the school does have some positive attributes, such as a lower-than-average student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and per-student spending that is slightly higher than the state average. However, the overall data suggests that Neoga CUSD 3 and its lone high school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the issues of declining performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges in order to improve student outcomes and better serve the community.
