Summary:
The Pekin Central School District 303 in Illinois contains a single high school, Pekin Community High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has experienced a decline in its statewide ranking and performance rating over the past few years, suggesting it may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving academic outcomes.
Pekin Community High School's proficiency rates in standardized tests, including ACT, PreACT Secure, SAT, and ISA, are consistently lower than the state averages, indicating the school may need to focus on improving student academic achievement. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which could be a contributing factor to its overall academic performance. The school also has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting the student population may come from lower-income households, which could present additional challenges in terms of academic support and resources.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, the academic performance data suggests these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. The district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the school's challenges and improve its overall performance.
