Summary:

Oblong CUSD 4 is a small school district in Illinois that contains only one high school, Oblong High School. The school serves grades 9-12 and has struggled to perform at the same level as other high schools across the state in recent years.

Oblong High School's statewide ranking has declined from 249th out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 to 514th out of 698 in 2024-2025, and it is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's graduation rate of 89.0% in 2024-2025 is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.4% is slightly higher. Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, with a rate of 25.4% in 2024-2025, well above the state average.

Academically, Oblong High School's test scores lag behind state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 25.8% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51.7%. The school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 49.7% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Despite higher-than-average spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio, the school's performance remains a concern, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the challenges.
